            Abstract : 
A new algorithm is presented for the calculation of rate-distortion functions for which the reproduction alphabet has been constrained to a finite size with its reproduction symbols occurring with fixed probability. The algorithm can be used to calculate reproduction alphabets for a trellis coded quantiser for the encoding of analogue information sources.
