It is well known that the traditional Jensen inequality is proved by lower bounding the given convex function, $f(x)$, by the tangential affine function that passes through the point $(E\{X\},f(E\{X\}))$, where $E\{X\}$ is the expectation…

A measure is derived to quantify directed information transfer between pairs of vertices in a weighted network, over paths of a specified maximal length. Our approach employs a general, probabilistic model of network traffic, from which the…

We discuss quantum speed limits (QSLs) for finite-dimensional quantum systems undergoing general physical processes. These QSLs were obtained using two families of entropic measures, namely the square root of the Jensen-Shannon divergence,…
Exponential families are statistical models which are the workhorses in statistics, information theory, and machine learning among others. An exponential family can either be normalized subtractively by its cumulant or free energy function…

Quasi-Newton (QN) methods provide an efficient alternative to second-order methods for minimizing smooth unconstrained problems. While QN methods generally compose a Hessian estimate based on one secant interpolation per iteration,…
Entropy is a key measure in studies related to information theory and its many applications. Campbell of the first time recognized that exponential of Shannons entropy is just the size of the sample space when the distribution is uniform.…
