The usual assumption for proofs of the optimality of lossless encoding is a stationary ergodic source. Dynamic sources with a non-stationary probability distributions occur in many practical situations where the data source is constructed by a composition of distinct sources, for example a document with multiple authors, a multimedia document, or the composition of distinct packets sent over a communication channel. This paper presents and discusses optimal or near optimal methods for lossless compression of strings generated by sources that are not stationary ergodic.
