Abstract
This chapter begins the third part of the book, which is devoted to the analyzis and synthezis of information transformations. This and the next chapter consider transformations that compress the volume of information. Compression of volume is one of the most important information transformations. We understand it intuitively as a preliminary transformation of structured information that allows to reduce the resources necessary for subsequent processing of the information. An introduction to the problems of information compression has been presented in Section 1.5.4; see in particular, Figure 1.22.
