For uniform scalar quantization, the error distribution is approximately a uniform distribution over an interval (which is also a 1-dimensional ball). Nevertheless, for lattice vector quantization, the error distribution is uniform not over…

For a Borel set $A$ and a homogeneous Poisson point process $\eta$ in $\R^d$ of intensity $\lambda >0$, define the Poisson--Voronoi approximation $ A_\eta$ of $A$ as a union of all Voronoi cells with nuclei from $\eta$ lying in $A$. If $A$…
