Asymptotic order of the quantization errors for self-affine measures on Bedford-McMullen carpets
Sanguo Zhu
Abstract
Let $E$ be a Bedford-McMullen carpet determined by a set of affine mappings $(f_{ij})_{(i,j)\in G}$ and $μ$ a self-affine measure on $E$ associated with a probability vector $(p_{ij})_{(i,j)\in G}$. We prove that, for every $r\in(0,\infty)$, the upper and lower quantization coefficient are always positive and finite in its exact quantization dimension $s_r$. As a consequence, the $k$th quantization error for $μ$ of order $r$ is of the same order as $k^{-\frac{1}{s_r}}$. In sharp contrast to the Hausdorff measure for Bedford-McMullen carpets, our result is independent of the horizontal fibres of the carpets.
