Two universal lossy data compression schemes, one with fixed rate and
the other with fixed distortion, are presented, based on the well-know
n Lempel-Ziv algorithm. In the case of fixed rate R, our universal los
sy data compression scheme works as follows: first pick a codebook B-n
consisting of all reproduction sequences of length n whose Lempel-Ziv
codeword length is less than or equal to nR, and then use B1 to encod
e the entire source sequence n-block by n-block. This fixed-rate data
compression scheme is universal in the sense that for any stationary,
ergodic source or for any individual sequence, the sample distortion p
erformance as n --> infinity is given almost surely by the distortion
rate function. A similar result is shown in the context of fixed disto
rtion lossy source coding.
