The local quantization behavior of absolutely continuous probabilities
Siegfried Graf, Harald Luschgy, Gilles Pagès · The Annals of Probability · 2012
For a large class of absolutely continuous probabilities $P$ it is shown that, for $r>0$, for $n$-optimal $L^{r}(P)$-codebooks $\alpha_{n}$, and any Voronoi partition $V_{n,a}$ with respect to $\alpha_{n}$ the local probabilities $P(V_{n,a})$ satisfy $P(V_{a,n})\approx n^{-1}$ while the local $L^{r}$-quantization errors satisfy $\int_{V_{n,a}}\|x-a\|^{r}\,dP(x)\approx n^{-(1+r/d)}$ as long as the partition sets $V_{n,a}$ intersect a fixed compact set $K$ in the interior of the support of $P$.
