It has been shown that the Kullback-Leibler divergence is a Lyapunov function for the replicator equations at evolutionary stable states, or ESS. In this paper we extend the result to a more general class of game dynamics. As a result,…

We show that the $f$-divergence between any two densities of potentially different location-scale families can be reduced to the calculation of the $f$-divergence between one standard density with another location-scale density. It follows…

We appeal to a complex q-Fourier transform as a generalization of the (real) one analyzed in [Milan J. Math. {\bf 76} (2008) 307]. By recourse to tempered ultra-distributions we are able to show that the q-Gaussian distribution can be…

Consider the Langevin diffusion process $\mathrm{d} X_t = \nabla \log p_t(X_t) + \sqrt{2}\mathrm{d} W_t$ guided by the time-dependent probability density $p_t(x)$. Let $q_t$ be the density of $X_t$. Recently, in order to analyze convergence…

We conclude our analysis of bubble divergences in the flat spinfoam model. In [arXiv:1008.1476] we showed that the divergence degree of an arbitrary two-complex Gamma can be evaluated exactly by means of twisted cohomology. Here, we…
