Existing polarization theories have mostly been concerned with Shannon's information measures, such as Shannon entropy and mutual information, and some related measures such as the Bhattacharyya parameter. In this work, we extend…
We associate to the p-th R\'enyi entropy a definition of entropy power, which is the natural extension of Shannon's entropy power and exhibits a nice behaviour along solutions to the p-nonlinear heat equation in $R^n$. We show that the…
The Matrix-based Renyi's entropy enables us to directly measure information quantities from given data without the costly probability density estimation of underlying distributions, thus has been widely adopted in numerous statistical…
In this correspondence, we correct an erroneous result on the achievability part of the R\'enyi common information with order $1+s\in(1,2]$ in [1]. The new achievability result (upper bound) of the R\'enyi common information no longer…
The Renyi entropy with a free Renyi parameter $q$ is the most justified form of information entropy, and the Tsallis entropy may be regarded as a linear approximation to the Renyi entropy when $q\simeq 1$. When $q\to 1$, both entropies go…
We propose R\'enyi information generating function and discuss its properties. A connection between the R\'enyi information generating function and the diversity index is proposed for discrete type random variables. The relation between the…
Recently, an interesting quantity called the quantum Renyi divergence (or "sandwiched" Renyi relative entropy) was defined for pairs of positive semi-definite operators $\rho$ and $\sigma$. It depends on a parameter $\alpha$ and acts as a…
We recall some of the history of the information-theoretic approach to deriving core results in probability theory and indicate parts of the recent resurgence of interest in this area with current progress along several interesting…
The matrix-based Renyi's \alpha-order entropy functional was recently introduced using the normalized eigenspectrum of a Hermitian matrix of the projected data in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). However, the current theory in the…
We establish a precise mathematical equivalence between witness-based similarity systems (REWA) and Shannon's information theory. We prove that witness overlap is mutual information, that REWA bit complexity bounds arise from channel…
In this paper we derive explicit formulas of the R\'enyi information, Shannon entropy and Song measure for the invariant density of one dimensional ergodic diffusion processes. In particular, the diffusion models considered include the…
A fundamental question in information theory is to quantify the loss of information under a noisy channel. Partial orders are typical tools to that end, however, they are often also challenging to evaluate. For the special class of binary…
This article develops an analytical framework for studying information divergences and likelihood ratios associated with Poisson processes and point patterns on general measurable spaces. The main results include explicit analytical…
We introduce a relative variant of information loss to characterize the behavior of deterministic input-output systems. We show that the relative loss is closely related to Renyi's information dimension. We provide an upper bound for…
Following a recent proof of Shannon's entropy power inequality (EPI), a comprehensive framework for deriving various EPIs for the R\'enyi entropy is presented that uses transport arguments from normal densities and a change of variable by…
In the present follow-up article of a previous one [1] we illustrate the use of the Unconventional Statistical Mechanics described and discussed in the latter. This is done via the analysis, resorting to Renyi approach, of experimental…
The formalism of statistical mechanics can be generalized by starting from more general measures of information than the Shannon entropy and maximizing those subject to suitable constraints. We discuss some of the most important examples of…
We propose a new interpretation of measures of information and disorder by connecting these concepts to group theory in a new way. Entropy and group theory are connected here by their common relation to sets of permutations. A combinatorial…
This paper is twofold. In the first part, we present a refinement of the R\'enyi Entropy Power Inequality (EPI) recently obtained in \cite{BM16}. The proof largely follows the approach in \cite{DCT91} of employing Young's convolution…
We define a one-parameter family of entropies, each assigning a real number to any probability measure on a compact metric space (or, more generally, a compact Hausdorff space with a notion of similarity between points). These entropies…
