Variable-Length Compression Allowing Errors

This paper studies the fundamental limits of the minimum average length of lossless and lossy variable-length compression, allowing a nonzero error probability ε, for lossless compression. We give nonasymptotic bounds on the minimum average length in terms of Erokhin's rate-distortion function...
