dc.description.abstract	The compact representation of integers is an important problem in areas such as data compression, especially where there is a nearly monotonic decrease in the likelihood of larger integers. While many different representations have been described, it is not always clear in which circumstances a particular code is to be preferred. This report introduces a variant of the Elias γ code which is shown to be better than other codes for some distributions.	en
