contents The problem of constructing optimal AIFV codes is a special case of that of constructing minimum cost Markov Chains. This paper provides the first complete proof of correctness for the previously known iterative algorithm for constructing such Markov chains. A recent work describes how to efficiently solve the Markov Chain problem by first constructing a Markov Chain Polytope and then running the Ellipsoid algorithm for linear programming on it. This paper's second result is that, in the AIFV case, a special property of the polytope instead permits solving the corresponding linear program using simple binary search
