Abstract

It has been shown that the αz\alpha-z R{\'e}nyi relative entropy satisfies the Data Processing Inequality (DPI) for a certain range of α\alpha's and zz's. Moreover, the range is completely characterized by Zhang in `20. We prove necessary and algebraically sufficient conditions to saturate the DPI for the αz\alpha-z R{\'e}nyi relative entropy whenever 1<α21<\alpha\leq 2 and α2zα\frac{\alpha}{2}\leq z\leq\alpha. Moreover, these conditions coincide whenever α=z\alpha=z.
