Boundary density and Voronoi set estimation for irregular sets

Abstract

In this paper, we study the inner and outer boundary densities of some sets with self-similar boundary having Minkowski dimension s\textgreaterd1s\textgreater{}d-1 in Rd\mathbb{R}^{d}. These quantities turn out to be crucial in some problems of set estimation theory, as we show here for the Voronoi approximation of the set with a random input constituted by nn iid points in some larger bounded domain. We prove that some classes of such sets have positive inner and outer boundary density, and therefore satisfy Berry-Essen bounds in ns/2dn^{-s/2d} for Kolmogorov distance. The Von Koch flake serves as an example, and a set with Cantor boundary as a counter-example. We also give the almost sure rate of convergence of Hausdorff distance between the set and its approximation.
