A new bit assignment algorithm is presented. Its goals are the simultaneous assignment on all subbands in a few steps of an iterative calculus, the use of memory to achieve a better speed of convergence and the consideration of a deformable error curve. The basis of the algorithm is discussed and also other considerations that are likely to arise in practice. Finally, an example of its performance is given.
