Abstract

This paper suggests a signal processing method for finding the minimax codes which minimize the maximum redundancies over a class of sources with either a discrete or a continuous alphabet where relative entropy (cross entropy; discrimination information) is adopted as a criterion to measure the redundancy. An efficient algorithm is presented, and a computational complexity analysis and numerical study demonstrates the efficiency of the method.
