Abstract

We investigate the functional quantization problem for stochastic processes with respect to $ L^p(\mathbb{R}^d, \mu) $-norms, where $ \mu $ is a fractal measure namely, $ \mu $ is self-similar or a homogeneous Cantor measure. The derived functional quantization upper rate bounds are universal depending only on the mean-regularity index of the process and the quantization dimension of $ \mu $ and as universal rates they are optimal. Furthermore, for arbitrary Borel probability measures $ \mu $ we establish a (nonconstructive) link between the quantization errors of $ \mu $ and the functional quantization errors of the process in the space $ L^p(\mathbb{R}^d, \mu) $.
