Abstract(in English) In the case that the costs of letters (code symbols) 0 and 1 are equal, it is known that the AIFV code with two code trees $T_0$ and $T_1$ can attain better compression rate than the Huffman code with a single code tree $T_{rm H}$. Furthermore, if we use the so-called easy construction of an AIFV code, the code trees $T_0$ and $T_1$ can be easily constructed from Huffman code tree $T_{rm H}$. Although the obtained AIFV code is not optimal generally, it can usually attain better compression rate than the Huffman code. In this paper, we treat AIFV coding and propose easy construction algorithms of AIFV codes for unequal letter costs. In ordinary AIFV code trees, a master node is connected to its grandchild by code symbols `00'. But, we consider the cases that a master node is connected to its grandchild by `01', `10', `11' in addition to `00', and we clarify the merits and demerits for their cases.
