Rényi Entropy and Rényi Divergence in Product MV-Algebras [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2018
This article deals with new concepts in a product MV-algebra, namely, with the concepts of Rényi entropy and Rényi divergence. We define the Rényi entropy of order q of a partition in a product MV-algebra and its conditional version ...

Refinement of Jensen’s inequality and estimation of f- and Rényi divergence via Montgomery identity [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2018
Jensen’s inequality is important for obtaining inequalities for divergence between probability distribution. By applying a refinement of Jensen’s inequality (Horváth et al. in Math. Inequal. Appl.

Economics of Disagreement—Financial Intuition for the Rényi Divergence [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
Disagreement is an essential element of science and life in general. The language of probabilities and statistics is often used to describe disagreements quantitatively. In practice, however, we want much more than that.

Two Measures of Dependence

open access: yesEntropy, 2019
Two families of dependence measures between random variables are introduced. They are based on the Rényi divergence of order α and the relative

Optimum Achievable Rates in Two Random Number Generation Problems with f-Divergences Using Smooth Rényi Entropy [PDF]

open access: yesEntropy
Two typical fixed-length random number generation problems in information theory are considered for general sources. One is the source resolvability problem and the other is the intrinsic randomness problem.

Defining quantum divergences via convex optimization [PDF]

open access: yesQuantum, 2021
We introduce a new quantum Rényi divergence $D^{\#}_{\alpha}$ for $\alpha \in (1,\infty)$ defined in terms of a convex optimization program. This divergence has several desirable computational and operational properties such as an efficient semidefinite ...

Fuzzy Clustering Methods with Rényi Relative Entropy and Cluster Size

open access: yesMathematics, 2021
In the last two decades, information entropy measures have been relevantly applied in fuzzy clustering problems in order to regularize solutions by avoiding the formation of partitions with excessively overlapping clusters.

Generalizations of Levinson type inequalities via new Green functions with applications to information theory

open access: yesJournal of Inequalities and Applications, 2023
In this paper, four new Green functions are used to generalize Levinson-type inequalities for the class of 3-convex functions. The f-divergence, Renyi entropy, Renyi divergence, Shannon entropy, and the Zipf–Mandelbrot law are also used to apply the main

Rényi divergences from Euclidean quenches

open access: yesJournal of High Energy Physics, 2020
We study the generalisation of relative entropy, the Rényi divergence D α (ρ∥ρ β ) in 2d CFTs between an excited state density matrix ρ, created by deforming the Hamiltonian, and the thermal density matrix ρ β .

Measuring Bayesian Robustness Using Rényi Divergence

open access: yesStats, 2021
This paper deals with measuring the Bayesian robustness of classes of contaminated priors. Two different classes of priors in the neighborhood of the elicited prior are considered.
