Data compression

coding runs of repeated symbols by their length, with Golomb's codes being optimal for geometrically distributed run lengths.

In data compression, run-length encoding refers to coding runs of repeated symbols by their length, with Golomb's codes being optimal for geometrically distributed run lengths. This meaning comes from Golomb (1966) in IEEE Transactions on Information Theory.[1]
