1. A method for partitioning a data segment, P, with a length p into smaller segments, Pi, is compressed separately, the method comprising:

  • storing the data segment, P in a computer readable storage medium;

    dividing the data segment, P into a plurality of 2-partition pairs π

    where both partitions within each pair have a predefined length of at least μ

    (P);

    estimating a compressed length of each partition within each pair;

    selecting one of the 2-partition pairs π

    for partitioning the data segment, P, such that r(π

    )<

    r(P), where r(π

    ) represents a compressed length of the one of the 2-partition pairs and Γ

    (P) represents a compressed length of the data segment, P, wherein at least one of;

    the storing, the dividing, the estimating or the selecting is performed via a processor; and

    wherein the method has a computation complexity O(plog p).
