Absolute error rate-distortion functions for sources with constrained magnitudes (Corresp.)

The explicit evaluation of the absolute error rate-distortion function has been obtained previously for a class of i.i.d, sources with probability densities supported on the entire real line. The technique is extended to various i.i.d, sources with densities supported on a proper subset of the real line, such as uniform and one-sided exponential densities. Comparisons of these rate-distortion functions with their Shannon lower bounds are also given.
