The author suggests a method of coding of a finite-state Markov source which provides an arbitrary prescribed redundancy. This coding is efficient for a Markov source with a low but positive entropy. A binary finite-state Markov source has a low entropy if \( p=\max\limits_{s\in S}\min\bigl(p(1\mid{}s),p(0\mid{}s)\bigr)\) is small. Here \(S\) is the set of states. The average time of encoding and decoding per one symbol is equal to \[ O\Bigl(\sqrt{p} \log^3\tfrac{1}{r}\log\log\tfrac{1}{r}\Bigr) \] bit-operations, where \(r>0\) is a given redundancy. A similar method is also proposed for a Bernoulli source with a finite alphabet. This method is based on a fast code proposed by \textit{B. Ya. Ryabko} [IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory 40, No. 1, 96-99 (1994; Zbl 0803.94007)].
