Abstract
(English)
In this paper, we consider the achievability
of variable-length coding. In previous works, we generalized
the achievability of variable-length coding from two
viewpoints. One is the definition of an overflow probability,
and the other is the definition of an achievability. We
defined the overflow probability as the probability of codeword
length, not per symbol, is larger than ηn. Moreover
we defined the -achievability of variable-length codes that
implies an existence of a code for the source under the condition
that the overflow probability is smaller than or equal to
. Then, given we showed the condition of -achievability
for the source that the self-information of the source has
an asymptotic normality. In this paper, we extend the previous
result for mixed sources. In general, the asymptotic
normality of the self-information does not hold for mixed
sources. We show the necessary and sufficient condition for
the -achievability for mixed sources.
