On the asymptotic quantization error for the doubling measures on Moran sets

Abstract

We study the quantization errors for the doubling probability measures $\mu$ which are supported on a class of Moran sets $E\subset\mathbb{R}^q$. For each $n\geq 1$, let $\alpha_n$ be an arbitrary $n$-optimal set for $\mu$ of order $r$ and $\{P_a(\alpha_n)\}_{a\in\alpha_n}$ an arbitrary Voronoi partition with respect to $\alpha_n$. We denote by $I_a(\alpha_n,\mu)$ the integral $\int_{P_a(\alpha_n)}d(x,a)^rd\mu(x)$ and define \begin{eqnarray*} \underline{J}(\alpha_n,\mu):=\min\limits_{a\in\alpha_n}I_a(\alpha_n,\mu),\; \overline{J}(\alpha_n,\mu):=\max\limits_{a\in\alpha_n}I_a(\alpha_n,\mu). \end{eqnarray*} Let $e_{n,r}(\mu)$ denote the $n$th quantization error for $\mu$ of order $r$. Assuming a version of the open set condition for $E$, we prove that \[ \underline{J}(\alpha_n,\mu),\overline{J}(\alpha_n,\mu)\asymp\frac{1}{n}e_{n,r}^r(\mu). \] This result shows that, for the doubling measures on Moran sets $E$, a weak version of Gersho's conjecture holds.
