Abstract :
Correlated information sequences 
and 
are generated by repeated independent drawings of a pair of discrete random variables 
from a given bivariate distribution 
. We determine the minimum number of bits per character 
and 
needed to encode these sequences so that they can be faithfully reproduced under a variety of assumptions regarding the encoders and decoders. The results, some of which are not at all obvious, are presented as an admissible rate region 
in the 
plane. They generalize a similar and well-known result for a single information sequence, namely 
for faithful reproduction.
