摘要: We consider the distributed computation of a function random sources with minimal communication. Specifically, given two discrete memoryless sources, X and Y, receiver wishes to compute f(X, Y) based on (encoded) information sent from Y in manner. A special case, = (X, Y), is classical question source coding considered by Slepian Wolf (1973). Orlitsky Roche (2001) somewhat restricted setup when available as side at receiver. They characterized rate which needs transmit data conditional graph entropy characteristic f. In our recent work (2006), we further established that this can be achieved means coloring (e.g. Slepian-Wolf coding). This characterization allows for separation between "function coding" "correlation coding." paper, more general where are both encoded (separately). significantly harder give single-letter complete region. find under certain condition support set (called zigzag condition), it possible characterize region colorings separately. That is, any achievable pair rates realized first graphs separately (function coding) then using these colors (correlation also obtain joint rate. Finally, provide simulation results establish gains real sequences
