We study the distribution of the order of a random permutation of $[n]$ through the lens of R\'enyi entropy. In particular, we obtain an asymptotic for the R\'enyi $q$-entropy of the order in the full range $1 \leq q \leq \infty$. For $q >…
Many axiomatic definitions of entropy, such as the R\'enyi entropy, of a random variable are closely related to the $\ell_{\alpha}$-norm of its probability distribution. This study considers probability distributions on finite sets, and…

We consider degenerate diffusion equations of the form $\partial_tp_t = \Delta f(p_t)$ on a bounded domain and subject to no-flux boundary conditions, for a class of nonlinearities $f$ that includes the porous medium equation. We derive for…

We are interested in the large-time behavior of periodic entropy solutions in $L^\infty$ to anisotropic degenerate parabolic-hyperbolic equations of second-order. Unlike the pure hyperbolic case, the nonlinear equation is no longer…

This paper introduces "swiveled Renyi entropies" as an alternative to the Renyi entropic quantities put forward in [Berta et al., Phys. Rev. A 91, 022333 (2015)]. What distinguishes the swiveled Renyi entropies from the prior proposal of…

Max stable laws are limit laws of linearly normalized partial maxima of independent identically distributed random variables. Saeb (2014) proves that the Renyi entropy of order b (b > 1) of linear normalized maximum of iid random variables…
The global existence of renormalised solutions and convergence to equilibrium for reaction-diffusion systems with non-linear diffusion are investigated. The system is assumed to have quasi-positive non-linearities and to satisfy an entropy…

R\'enyi transfer entropy (RTE) is a generalization of classical transfer entropy that replaces Shannon's entropy with R\'enyi's information measure. This, in turn, introduces a new tunable parameter $\alpha$, which accounts for sensitivity…
