Abstract
New results concerning the structure and existence of optimal entropy-constrained scalar quantizers (ECSQs) are presented. One main result shows that for continuous sources and a wide class of distortion measures, any finite-level ECSQ can be replaced by an ECSQ with interval cells which has the same entropy and equal or less distortion. Furthermore, the existence of an optimal ECSQ for an arbitrary entropy constraint is shown under rather general conditions.
