Let <i>d</i> ≥ 1 be an integer and <i>E</i> a self-similar fractal set, which is the attractor of a uniform contracting iterated function system (UIFS) on R<sup>d</sup>. Denote by <i>D</i> the Hausdorff dimension, by <i>H</i><sup>D</sup><i>(E)</i> the Hausdorff measure and by diam <i>(E)</i> the diameter of <i>E</i>. If the UIFS is parametrised by its contracting factor <i>c</i>, while the set ω of fixed points of the UIFS does not depend on <i>c</i>, we will show the existence of a positive constant depending only on ω, such that the Hausdorff dimension is smaller than one and <i>H</i><sup>D</sup> = <i>(E)</i> <sup>D</sup> if <i>c</i> is smaller than this constant. We apply our result to modified versions of various classical fractals. Moreover we present a parametrised UIFS where ω depends on <i>c</i> and <i>H</i><sup>D</sup> < diam<i>(E)</i><sup>D</sup>, if <i>c</i> is small enough.
Optimal quantization for the one-dimensional uniform distribution with Rényi -α-entropy constraints
(2009)
We establish the optimal quantization problem for probabilities under constrained Rényi-α-entropy of the quantizers. We determine the optimal quantizers and the optimal quantization error of one-dimensional uniform distributions including the known special cases α = 0 (restricted codebook size) and α = 1 (restricted Shannon entropy).
We consider the problem of optimal quantization with norm exponent r > 0 for Borel probabilities on R<sup>d</sup> under constrained Rényi-α-entropy of the quantizers. If the bound on the entropy becomes large, then sharp asymptotics for the optimal quantization error are well-known in the special cases α = 0 (memory-constrained quantization) and α = 1 (Shannon-entropy-constrained quantization). In this paper we determine sharp asymptotics for the optimal quantization error under large entropy bound with entropy parameter α ∈ [1+r/d, ∞]. For α ∈ [0,1+r/d[ we specify the asymptotical order of the optimal quantization error under large entropy bound. The optimal quantization error decays exponentially fast with the entropy bound and the exact decay rate is determined for all α ∈ [0, ∞].
