A key property of these codes is that they work well under any monotonic probability distribution on integers.

Monotonicity means that the probability of an integer i is greater than or equal to the probability of i+1 for all positive i.

This ensures that the expected lengths of the codewords are optimized, regardless of the true probability distribution.
