Source Coding Theorem

The Source Coding Theorem is a foundational result in information theory that establishes the minimum number of bits per symbol, asymptotically achievable by lossless compression, required to represent a stationary ergodic source, thereby delineating the theoretical limit of data compression in terms of the source's entropy rate.
