A Bound of Generalized Cutoff Rate for the Fixed-Length Lossy Coding of General Sources

Abstract

This paper investigate Csiszar's generalized cutoff rate for the fixed-length lossy coding of general sources. We obtain an upper bound of generalized cutoff rate and derive Renyi's entropy for the case of loss-less coding. We also derive generalized cutoff rate for memory-less sources with lossy coding. It can be considered as a lossy counterpart of Renyi's entropy.
