Abstract
Guiasu and Picard [1] introduced the mean length for ‘useful’ codes. They
called this length as the ‘useful’ mean length. Longo [2] has proved a noiseless
coding theorem for this ‘useful’ mean length. In this paper we will give two
generalizations of ‘useful’ mean length. After then the noiseless coding theorems are
proved using these two generalizations.
