rate-distortion function: derivative of a functional












1














My question concerns the answer on this post: Characterisation of the rate distortion function: issue with functional derivative



What do the symbols $delta_{x',x_0}$ and $delta_{hat{x}_0,hat{x}}$ mean; in particular, how is the third line derived from the second one? Does anyone have a reference for these definitions/notation? The Wikipedia article on functional derivatives doesn't seem to have them...Thank you. (Sorry I couldn't comment on the post because I don't have enough reputation.)
