Handles arbitrary, nonadditive distortion measures
Abstract
An information-spectrum approach is applied to solve the multiterminal source coding problem for correlated general sources, where sources may be nonstationary and/or nonergodic, and the distortion measure is arbitrary and may be nonadditive. A general formula for the rate-distortion region of the multiterminal source coding problem with the maximum distortion criterion under fixed-length coding is shown in this correspondence.
