A Coding Theorem for f-Separable Distortion Measures
1Department of Electrical Engineering, Princeton University, Princeton, NJ 08544, USA.
Abstract:
In this work we relax the usual separability assumption made in rate-distortion literature and propose f -separable distortion measures, which are well suited to model non-linear penalties. The main insight behind f -separable distortion measures is to define an n-letter distortion measure to be an f -mean of single-letter distortions. We prove a rate-distortion coding theorem for stationary ergodic sources with f -separable distortion measures, and provide some illustrative examples of the resulting rate-distortion functions. Finally, we discuss connections between f -separable distortion measures, and the subadditive distortion measure previously proposed in literature.

Routh-Hurwitz Criterion II
The first scenario occurs when a singular zero appears in the first column of the Routh table. This situation creates a division by zero issues. To resolve this, a small positive or negative number, denoted as epsilon (∈), is substituted for the zero. The stability analysis proceeds by assuming a sign for ∈. If ∈ is positive, any sign change in the first...
