Abstract

This paper considers a problem of lossy compression of generalized Gaussian (GG) sources (i.e., sources with the probability density functions proportional to \mathrm {e}^{-\frac {|x|^{\mathrm {S}}}{2}}, s \gt 0) with an \ell {r}, r \gt 0, distortion measure.It is shown that an optimal reconstruction distribution always exists and properties of this distribution are studied. In particular, it is shown that if s \leq r-1 then an optimal reconstruction must have unbounded support and for s \gt r an optimal reconstruction must have bounded support. Further, it is shown that Shannon's lower bound is achievable if and only if r = s \in (0,1] \cup \{2\}, or in other words when the GG distribution is self-decomposable. Finally, conditions are shown under which an optimal reconstruction is discrete with finitely many mass points.
