In this paper, we introduce two notions of a relative operator $(\alpha, \beta)$-entropy and a Tsallis relative operator $(\alpha, \beta)$-entropy as two parameter extensions of the relative operator entropy and the Tsallis relative…

We consider the maximum entropy problems associated with R\'enyi $Q$-entropy, subject to two kinds of constraints on expected values. The constraints considered are a constraint on the standard expectation, and a constraint on the…

Fundamental properties for the Tsallis relative entropy in both classical and quantum systems are studied. As one of our main results, we give the parametric extension of the trace inequality between the quantum relative entropy and the…

Many common probability distributions in statistics like the Gaussian, multinomial, Beta or Gamma distributions can be studied under the unified framework of exponential families. In this paper, we prove that both R\'enyi and Tsallis…

We give a new characterization of relative entropy, also known as the Kullback-Leibler divergence. We use a number of interesting categories related to probability theory. In particular, we consider a category FinStat where an object is a…

This paper studies forward and reverse projections for the R\'{e}nyi divergence of order $\alpha \in (0, \infty)$ on $\alpha$-convex sets. The forward projection on such a set is motivated by some works of Tsallis {\em et al.} in…

Weakly almost i.i.d. quantum sources are sequences of multipartite states whose fixed-size marginals converge, on average, to tensor powers of a reference state, while allowing arbitrary global correlations and entanglement. We establish…

Most quantum divergences derive their structure from classical f-divergences or Renyi-type constructions, a dependence that obscures several quantum geometric effects. We introduce a quantum relative-alpha-entropy that extends Umegaki's…

Both the Kullback-Leibler and the Tsallis divergence have a strong limitation: if the value $0$ appears in probability distributions $\left( p_{1},\cdots ,p_{n}\right)$ and $\left( q_{1},\cdots ,q_{n}\right)$, it must appear in the same…
