  • Abstract
    Information theory has several traditional folklore problems about data compression or channel coding with reference to random number generation problems. Here, we focus on and reasonably formulate one of them from the viewpoint of information spectra. Specifically, we verify the validity of the folklore that the output from any source encoder working at the optimal coding rate with asymptotically vanishing probability of error looks like almost completely random
