Conjecture on optimal quantizers for the uniform distribution on a disc
Conjecture on optimal quantizers for the uniform distribution on a disc
Let the unit disc be equipped with the uniform probability distribution. For an optimal set of -means, consider the associated Voronoi regions. Conjecture on optimal quantizers for the disc. (i) For , the Voronoi regions partition the disc into two regions bounded by semicircles. (ii) For , they partition the disc into three sectors, each subtending a central angle of radians. (iii) For , the Voronoi regions either form a regular -gon centered at the center of the disc, or one point lies at the center of the disc and the other points form a regular -gon centered at the center of the disc. These configurations are motivated by the maximum geometric and distributional symmetry of the uniform disc; the claims concern the unresolved structure of optimal quantizers for these values of .
