An improved outer bound for the multiterminal source-coding problem

We prove a new outer bound on the rate-distortion region for the multiterminal source-coding problem. This bound subsumes the best known bound in the literature and improves upon it strictly in some cases. The improved bound enables us to obtain a new, conclusive result for the binary-erasure instan...
