Query: A Method of Expressing the Magnitude of Merit of Being Able to Access a
  Side Information During Encoding   In general, if there is one device A with the same performance as many
devices B, it would be better to replace many devices with one device. In order
to determine the number of devices that can be reduced, it is important to
determine the number of other devices B having the same performance as one
device A. In this paper, based on the concept of "representing the performance
of one coding system A_n by the number of other coding systems B_n", we
consider the merits of an encoder that can access the side information in the
fixed-length source coding in general sources. The purpose of this paper is to
characterize the merit of being able to access the side information during
encoding with the number k_n of coding systems that can not access the side
information during encoding. For this purpose, we derive general formulas for
the upper limit of error probability and reliability functions without assuming
a specific information theoretical structure. These general formulas are
applicable to various fields other than source coding problems, because they
have been proved without assuming any particular information theoretical
structure. We prove some theorems under the condition that the coding system is
subadditive.
