Abstract

We elucidate the asymptotics of the Ls -quantization error induced by a sequence of Lr -optimal n-quantizers of aprobability distribution P on $\mathbb{R}^d$ when s > r. In particular we show that under natural assumptions, the optimal rate is preserved aslong as s < r+d (and for everys in the case of a compactly supported distribution). We derive some applications of these results to the error bounds for quantization based cubatureformulae in numerical integration on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and on the Wiener space.
