1. A process for coding a sequence of elements by generating a Lempel/Ziv code for partial sequences, comprising the steps of:
- constructing a linked list having a linked tree structure from tables, said tables being coding stages;
providing in each of the coding stages for each element of the sequence of elements a location, referred to as a coding site, at which a code word and a coding stage pointer to a subsequent coding stage may be assigned to a respective element;
assigning a respective code word to a partial sequence to be coded at a respective coding site, to which a respective coding stage pointer points, the respective coding stage pointer belonging to a further partial sequence which is produced by deletion of a last element of the partial sequence to be coded.

Abstract
An A. Lempel and J. Ziv code is frequently used for coding a sequence of elements of, for example, coefficients of a discrete cosine transform for image values of picture elements of a reproduced image. An extremely fast code generation process is disclosed for this. In coding steps, code words are marked at coding sites in accordance with the partial sequences found. The coding steps are linked by coding step pointers. The sequence of elements from a primary sequence can be converted into elements from a reduced set of elements using escape sequences.
