Entropy rate is a real valued functional on the space of discrete random sources which lacks a closed formula even for subclasses of sources which have intuitive parameterizations. A good way to overcome this problem is to examine its…
We consider a dominance order on positive vectors induced by the elementary symmetric polynomials. Under this dominance order we provide conditions that yield simple proofs of several monotonicity questions. Notably, our approach yields a…
Based on a sequence of numerical computations, a conjecture is presented regarding the class of functions $H(x;a)=\exp(a)-(1+a/x)^x$, and the open problem of determining the values of $a$ for which the functions are completely monotonic…
Using known entropic and information inequalities new inequalities for some classical polynomials are obtained. Examples of Jacobi and Legendre polynomials are considered.
Building on the recent work of Johnson (2007) and Yu (2008), we prove that entropy is a concave function with respect to the thinning operation T_a. That is, if X and Y are independent random variables on Z_+ with ultra-log-concave…
The authors establish the necessary and sufficient conditions under which certain combinations of Gaussian hypergeometric function and elementary function are monotone in the parameter, which generalize the recent results of generalized…
Starting from the basic-exponential, a q-deformed version of the exponential function established in the framework of the basic-hypergeometric series, we present a possible formulation of a generalized statistical mechanics. In a…
We present a unifying approach to the study of entropies in Mathematics, such as measure entropy, topological entropy, algebraic entropy, set-theoretic entropy. We take into account discrete dynamical systems, that is, pairs $(X,T)$, where…
Entropy is a famous and well established concept in physics and engineering that can be used for explanation of basic fundamentals as well it finds applications in several areas, from quantum physics to astronomy, from network communication…
Building on work of Kontsevich, we introduce a definition of the entropy of a finite probability distribution in which the "probabilities" are integers modulo a prime p. The entropy, too, is an integer mod p. Entropy mod p is shown to be…
The leading asymptotic behaviour of the Humbert functions $\Phi_2$, $\Phi_3$, $\Xi_2$ of two variables is found, when the absolute values of the two independent variables become simultaneosly large. New integral representations of these…
Entropy numbers and covering numbers of sets and operators are well known geometric notions, which found many applications in various fields of mathematics, statistics, and computer science. Their values for finite-dimensional embeddings…
In an attempt to find the dynamical foundations for $q$-entropies, we examine the special case of Lagrangian/Hamiltonian systems of many degrees of freedom whose statistical behavior is conjecturally described by the $q$-entropic…
We consider a q-analogue of the standard bilinear form on the commutative ring of symmetric functions. The q=-1 case leads to a Z-graded Hopf superalgebra which we call the algebra of odd symmetric functions. In the odd setting we describe…
We analyze systematically composable composite entropy of two Tsallis subsystems with different q indices. H-theorem and thermal balance relation are commented.
We use a mix of field theoretic and holographic techniques to elucidate various properties of quantum entanglement entropy. In (3+1)-dimensional conformal field theory we study the divergent terms in the entropy when the entangling surface…
We first observe that the (co)domains of the q-deformed functions are some subsets of the (co)domains of their ordinary counterparts, thereby deeming the deformed functions to be incomplete. In order to obtain a complete definition of…
We present estimators for entropy and other functions of a discrete probability distribution when the data is a finite sample drawn from that probability distribution. In particular, for the case when the probability distribution is a joint…
We investigate quasisymmetric functions coming from combinatorial Hopf monoids. We show that these invariants arise naturally in Ehrhart theory, and that some of their specializations are Hilbert functions for relative simplicial complexes.…
The logarithm function and the exponential function are, by nature, base dependent. Thus, in this paper I introduces an arbitrary base in the logarithm and exponential functions, both dependent on $q$, in order to have $\log_a(x;q)$ and…
