Variable-length compression allowing errors

This paper studies the fundamental limits of the minimum average length of variable-length compression when a nonzero error probability ε is tolerated. We give non-asymptotic bounds on the minimum average length in terms of Erokhin's rate-distortion function and we use those bounds to obtain a...
