Abstract

Let PP be a Borel probability measure on R\mathbb R generated by an infinite system of similarity mappings {Sj:jN}\{S_j : j\in \mathbb N\} such that P=j=112jPSj1P=\sum_{j=1}^\infty \frac 1{2^j} P\circ S_j^{-1}, where for each jNj\in \mathbb N and xRx\in \mathbb R, Sj(x)=13jx+113j1S_j(x)=\frac 1{3^{j}}x+1-\frac 1 {3^{j-1}}. Then, the support of PP is the dyadic Cantor set CC generated by the similarity mappings f1,f2:RRf_1, f_2 : \mathbb R \to \mathbb R such that f1(x)=13xf_1(x)=\frac 13 x and f2(x)=13x+23f_2(x)=\frac 13 x+\frac 23 for all xRx\in \mathbb R. In this paper, using the infinite system of similarity mappings {Sj:jN}\{S_j : j\in \mathbb N\} associated with the probability vector (12,122,)(\frac 12, \frac 1{2^2}, \cdots), for all nNn\in \mathbb N, we determine the optimal sets of nn-means and the nnth quantization errors for the infinite self-similar measure PP. The technique obtained in this paper can be utilized to determine the optimal sets of nn-means and the nnth quantization errors for more general infinite self-similar measures.
