Abstract

In this correspondence, we correct an erroneous result on the achievability part of the R\'enyi common information with order 1+s(1,2]1+s\in(1,2] in [1]. The new achievability result (upper bound) of the R\'enyi common information no longer coincides with Wyner's common information. We also provide a new converse result (lower bound) in this correspondence for the R\'enyi common information with order 1+s(1,]1+s\in(1,\infty]. Numerical results show that for doubly symmetric binary sources, the new upper and lower bounds coincide for the order 1+s(1,2]1+s\in(1,2] and they are both strictly larger than Wyner's common information for this case.
