Rate distortion for source coding with Markov side information at the decoder

In this paper we study the rate distortion trade off for source coding with side information at the decoder. This problem was posed and investigated by Wyner and Ziv. We call this problem the Wyner-Ziv source coding problem. In this paper we study the Wyner-Ziv source coding problem for a class of information sources with memory. For this class of information sources we give explicit inner and outer bounds of the rate distortion region.
