Quantization consists in studying the L-r-error induced by the approximation of a random vector X by a vector (quantized version) taking a finite number n of values. For R-m-valued random vectors the theory and practice is quite well established and in particular, the asymptotics as n --> infinity of the resulting minimal quantization error for nonsingular distributions is well known: it behaves like c(X,r,m)n(-1/m). This paper is a transposition of this problem to random vectors in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space and in particular, to stochastic processes (X-t)(tis an element of[0,1]) viewed as L-2([0, 1],dt)-valued random vectors. For Gaussian vectors and the L-2-error we present detailed results for stationary and optimal quantizers. We further establish a precise link between the rate problem and Shannon-Kolmogorov's entropy of X. This allows us to compute the exact rate of convergence to zero of the minimal L-2-quantization error under rather general conditions on the eigenvalues of the covariance operator. Typical rates are O((log n)(-a)), a > 0. They are obtained, for instance, for the fractional Brownian motion and the fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. The exponent a is closely related with the L-2-regularity of the process. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
