Abstract

This paper deals with the relationship between the source resolvability problem (or resolvability problem for short) and the fixed-length source coding problem. In the literature, optimum achievable rates in the resolvability problem (optimum resolvability rate) with respect to the variational distance as well as the Kullback-Leibler (KL) divergence, have already been analyzed. The relationship between the optimum resolvability rate and the optimum rate of the fixed-length source coding has also been clarified in each cases. In particular, it has been reported that the optimum source resolvability rate with respect to the normalized KL divergence has a close relationship with the optimum fixed-length source coding rate with the correct decoding exponent. Recently, the optimum resolvability rate with respect to a class of f-divergences has been analyzed. This result can be considered as a generalization of the optimum resolvability rate with respect to the unnormalized KL divergence. However, unnormalized f-divergences has not been considered yet in the resolvability problem. Hence, in this paper, we consider the resolvability problem with respect to a class of unnormalized f-divergences. In particular, we derive the relationship between the optimum resolvability rate with a class of normalized fdivergences and the optimum rate of the fixed-length source coding.
