"Arithmetic coding for data compression" by Witten Neal and Cleary. 1987. https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/214762.214771 It explains that all that's left to work on for better lossless compression factors is better (higher likelihood) models of sources. It provides C code and a good explanation of arithmetic coding.
