Abstract: In encoding, pitch periods for time series signals in a predetermined time interval are calculated, and a code corresponding thereto is output. In that encoding, the resolutions for expressing the pitch periods and/or a pitch period encoding mode are switched according to whether an index indicating a periodicity and/or stationarity level of the time series signals satisfies a condition indicating high or low in periodicity and/or stationarity. In that decoding, according to whether an index indicating a periodicity and/or stationarity level, the index being included in or obtained from an input code corresponding to the predetermined time interval, satisfies a condition indicating high periodicity and/or stationarity, a decoding mode for a code, included in the input code, corresponding to pitch periods is switched to decode the code corresponding to the pitch periods to obtain the pitch periods corresponding to the predetermined time interval.
