  • Abstract
    It is proved that if (X,Y) are two finite alphabet correlated sources with p(x,y)> 0 for all (x,y) \\in ({cal X} \\times {cal Y}) , and if a function F(X,Y) is \\alpha -sensitive, then the rate R of transmission from X to Y necessary to compute F(X,Y) reliably must be greater than H(X|Y) . The same result holds if the function is highly sensitive and for every x_{1} \\neq x_{2} \\in {cal X} , then the number of elements y \\in {cal Y} with p(x_{l},y) \\cdot p(x_{2}, y)> 0 is different from one.
