Lzip is a lossless file compressor based on the LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain-Algorithm) algorithm designed by Igor Pavlov.

The high compression of LZMA comes from combining two basic, well-proven compression ideas:

* sliding dictionaries (i.e. LZ77/78), and
* markov models (i.e. the thing used by every compression algorithm that uses a range encoder or similar order-0 entropy coder as its last stage) with segregation of contexts according to what the bits are used for.
