TY - INPR A1 - Kreitmeier, Wolfgang A1 - Linder, Tamas T1 - High-Resolution Scalar Quantization with Rényi Entropy Constraint N2 - We consider optimal scalar quantization with $r$th power distortion and constrained R\'enyi entropy of order $\alpha$. For sources with absolutely continuous distributions the high rate asymptotics of the quantizer distortion has long been known for $\alpha=0$ (fixed-rate quantization) and $\alpha=1$ (entropy-constrained quantization). These results have recently been extended to quantization with R\'enyi entropy constraint of order $\alpha \ge r+1$. Here we consider the more challenging case $\alpha\in [-\infty,0)\cup (0,1)$ and for a large class of absolutely continuous source distributions we determine the sharp asymptotics of the optimal quantization distortion. The achievability proof is based on finding (asymptotically) optimal quantizers via the companding approach, and is thus constructive.

For an asymptotically (high-rate) optimal sequence of quantizers, the contribution to the R\'enyi entropy due to source values in a fixed interval is identified in terms of the "entropy density" of the quantizer sequence. This extends results related to the well-known point density concept in optimal fixed-rate quantization. A dual of the entropy density result quantifies the distortion contribution of a given interval to the overall distortion. The distortion loss resulting from a mismatch of source densities in the design of an asymptotically optimal sequence of quantizers is also determined. This extends Bucklew's fixed-rate ($\alpha=0$) and Gray \emph{et al.}'s variable-rate ($\alpha=1$)mismatch results to general values of the entropy order parameter $\alpha$ KW - Maßtheorie KW - Quantisierung KW - Entropie KW - Asymptotic quantization theory KW - distortion density KW - entropy density KW - quantizer mismatch KW - Rényi-entropy Y1 - 2011 U6 - http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:739-opus-26132 N1 - This is a preprint of an article accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Information Theory Journal, ISSN: 0018-9448.
