Optimal sequential vector quantization of Markov sources
The problem of sequential vector quantization of a stationary Markov source is cast as an equivalent stochastic control problem with partial observations. This problem is analyzed using the techniques of dynamic programming, leading to a characterization of optimal encoding schemes.
