Summary :

The coding rate of a one-shot Tunstall code for stationary and memoryless sources is investigated in non-universal situations so that the probability distribution of the source is known to the encoder and the decoder. When studying the variable-to-fixed length code, the average coding rate has been defined as (i) the codeword length divided by the average block length. We define the average coding rate as (ii) the expectation of the pointwise coding rate, and prove that (ii) converges to the same value as (i).
