This article describes lossless compression algorithms for multisets of sequences, taking advantage of the multiset's unordered structure. Multisets are a generalisation of sets where members are allowed to occur multiple times. A multiset…

We investigate a lossy source compression problem in which both the encoder and decoder are equipped with a pre-trained sequence predictor. We propose an online lossy compression scheme that, under a 0-1 loss distortion function, ensures a…

This paper considers lossy source coding of $n$-dimensional memoryless sources and shows an explicit approximation to the minimum source coding rate required to sustain the probability of exceeding distortion $d$ no greater than $\epsilon$,…

A lossy source code $\mathcal{C}$ with rate $R$ for a discrete memoryless source $S$ is called subset-universal if for every $0<R'< R$, almost every subset of $2^{nR'}$ of its codewords achieves average distortion close to the source's…

The error exponent of fixed-length lossy source coding was established by Marton. Ahlswede showed that this exponent can be discontinuous at a rate $R$, depending on the probability distribution $P$ of the given information source and the…

Compression refers to encoding data using bits, so that the representation uses as few bits as possible. Compression could be lossless: i.e. encoded data can be recovered exactly from its representation) or lossy where the data is…
