In this article we give some improvements and generalizations of the famous Jensen's and Jensen-Mercer inequalities for twice differentiable functions, where convexity property of the target function is not assumed in advance. They…

The Jensen-Shannon divergence is a renown bounded symmetrization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence which does not require probability densities to have matching supports. In this paper, we introduce a vector-skew generalization of the…

In this paper, we introduce new classes of divergences by extending the definitions of the Bregman divergence and the skew Jensen divergence. These new divergence classes (g-Bregman divergence and skew g-Jensen divergence) satisfy some…

The geometric Jensen--Shannon divergence (G-JSD) gained popularity in machine learning and information sciences thanks to its closed-form expression between Gaussian distributions. In this work, we introduce an alternative definition of the…

Several new geometric quantile-based measures for multivariate dispersion, skewness, kurtosis, and spherical asymmetry are defined. These measures differ from existing measures, which use volumes and are easy to calculate. Some theoretical…

Metrics on Grassmannians have a wide array of applications: machine learning, wireless communication, computer vision, etc. But the available distances between subspaces of distinct dimensions present problems, and the dimensional asymmetry…

G\"ahler ([3],[4]) introduced the concept of 2-metric as a possible generalization of usual notion of a metric space. In many cases the results obtained in the usual metric spaces and 2-metric spaces are found to be unrelated (see [5]).…

We generalize the Jensen-Shannon divergence by considering a variational definition with respect to a generic mean extending thereby the notion of Sibson's information radius. The variational definition applies to any arbitrary distance and…
