Quantization for uniform distributions on hexagonal, semicircular, and elliptical curves
In this paper, first we have defined a uniform distribution on the boundary of a regular hexagon, and then investigated the optimal sets of $n$-means and the $n$th quantization errors for all positive integers $n$. We give an exact formula to determine them, if $n$ is of the form $n=6k$ for some positive integer $k$. We further calculate the quantization dimension, the quantization coefficient, and show that the quantization dimension is equal to the dimension of the object, and the quantization coefficient exists as a finite positive number. Then, we define a mixture of two uniform distributions on the boundary of a semicircular disc, and obtain a sequence and an algorithm, with the help of which we determine the optimal sets of $n$-means and the $n$th quantization errors for all positive integers $n$ with respect to the mixed distribution. Finally, for a uniform distribution defined on an elliptical curve, we investigate the optimal sets of $n$-means and the $n$th quantization errors for all positive integers $n$.
