| Description: | Summary: The classical rate-distorsion theory of Shannon is not general enough for multi-terminal source coding problems. We would call two fidelity criteria complementary with respect to a given source if any two codes satisfying these two respective criteria can be combined into a third code that guarantees an essentially error-free reproduction of the source. (This situation leads to a non-cooperative version of the multiple description problem). It can be shown that the complement of a Shannon-type fidelity criterion is not necessarily a Shannon-type criterion: hence the need for a new theory. In this paper we put forward such a theory; a direct theorem is proved. |
