The rate-distortion function (RDF) has long been an information-theoretic benchmark for data compression. As its natural extension, the indirect rate-distortion function (iRDF) corresponds to the scenario where the encoder can only access…

We examine the structure of families of distortion balls from the perspective of Kolmogorov complexity. Special attention is paid to the canonical rate-distortion function of a source word which returns the minimal Kolmogorov complexity of…

This paper considers the joint compression of a pair of correlated sources, where the encoder is allowed to access only one of the sources. The objective is to recover both sources under separate distortion constraints for each source while…

Classical rate-distortion theory requires knowledge of an elusive source distribution. Instead, we analyze rate-distortion properties of individual objects using the recently developed algorithmic rate-distortion theory. The latter is based…

In this paper, we study the rate distortion function of the i.i.d sequence of multiplications of a Bernoulli $p$ random variable and a gaussian random variable $\sim N(0,1)$. We use a new technique in the derivation of the lower bound in…

Perception-aware lossy source coding has attracted significant recent interest. It augments the classical distortion criterion with an explicit perception constraint, thereby enabling more refined control over fidelity and perceptual…

We consider a distributed source coding problem of $L$ correlated Gaussian observations $Y_i, i=1,2,...,L$. We assume that the random vector $Y^{L}={}^{\rm t} (Y_1,Y_2,$ $...,Y_L)$ is an observation of the Gaussian random vector…

A computable expression for the rate-distortion (RD) function proposed by Heegard and Berger has eluded information theory for nearly three decades. Heegard and Berger's single-letter achievability bound is well known to be optimal for…

In this paper we consider the separate coding problem for $L+1$ correlated Gaussian memoryless sources. We deal with the case where $L$ separately encoded data of sources work as side information at the decoder for the reconstruction of the…
