A general formula for the rate-distortion region of the multiterminal source coding problem with the maximum distortion criterion under fixed-length coding is shown in this correspondence.Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information Theory (Apr. 2006)Information TheoryAn Information-Spectrum Approach to Multiterminal Rate-Distortion Theorytext
