CODING THEOREMS FOR THE R-NORM INFORMATION MEASURE

*Dr Meenakshi Darolia

Assistant Professor, Isharjyot Degree College Pehova

**Mr Vishesh Bansal

Assistant Professor, MAIMT Jagadhri

In this paper, we will give coding theorems with respect to the R-Norm Information Measure. Suppose we have discrete memory less information source with an encoding alphabet with D Symbols and code words xi with word-lengths Ni, i = 1,2,….n, which fulfill the Kraft inequality

1

1

i n n

i

D (1.1)

Where D is the size of the code alphabet.

We next give a definition of average length LR of cord words.

DEFINITION: The average length LR with respect to R-norm information measure is for R€ R+ given by

LR = n n R R i

i I

D P R

R 1/

1

1 1

Clearly LR will increase for increasing word lengths. An important property of LR is that for R→1 it is equivalent with the average length of code words by Shannon, up to a constant.

Theorem: For all integer D > 1

LR = n n R R i

i I

D P R

Clearly ni and ni 1 satisfy the ‘equality’ in Holder’s Inequality[12]. Moreover. ni satisfies

Kraft’s Inequality (1.1)

Suppose ni is the unique integer between niandni 1, and then obviously, nisatisfies Kraft’s

Inequality (1.1), we have
