Tree encoding of stationary ergodic sources with a fidelity criterion
T. Hashimoto · IEEE Transactions on Information Theory · 1983
Tree source coding theorems with a single letter fidelity criterion are proved for stationary ergodic sources using tree codes with a fixed branch length. The higher-than-exponential convergence of distortions is shown for binary symmetric sources and Hamming distortion measure when an excess in rate is allowed.
