We introduce a variant of the R\'enyi entropy definition that aligns it with the well-known H\"older mean: in the new formulation, the r-th order R\'enyi Entropy is the logarithm of the inverse of the r-th order H\"older mean. This brings…
Since their introduction in the early sixties, the R\'enyi entropies have been used in many contexts, ranging from information theory to astrophysics, turbulence phenomena and others. In this note, we enlighten the main connections between…
This paper proposes an $\alpha$-leakage measure for $\alpha\in[0,\infty)$ by a cross entropy interpretation of R{\'{e}}nyi entropy. While R\'{e}nyi entropy was originally defined as an $f$-mean for $f(t) = \exp((1-\alpha)t)$, we reveal that…
Rare events play a key role in many applications and numerous algorithms have been proposed for estimating the probability of a rare event. However, relatively little is known on how to quantify the sensitivity of the probability with…
We express the joint R\'enyi entropy of progressively censored order statistics in terms of an incomplete integral of the hazard function, and provide a simple estimate of the joint R\'enyi entropy of progressively Type-II censored data.…
The asymptotic restriction problem for tensors can be reduced to finding all parameters that are normalized, monotone under restrictions, additive under direct sums and multiplicative under tensor products, the simplest of which are the…
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…
The matrix-based R\'enyi's entropy allows us to directly quantify information measures from given data, without explicit estimation of the underlying probability distribution. This intriguing property makes it widely applied in statistical…
This dissertation investigates relative entropies, also called generalized divergences, and how they can be used to characterize information-theoretic tasks in quantum information theory. The main goal is to further refine characterizations…
It is known that the variance and entropy of quantum observables decompose into intrinsically quantum and classical contributions. Here a general method of constructing quantum-classical decompositions of resources such as uncertainty is…
The equivalence between non-extensive C. Tsallis entropy and the extensive entropy introduced by Alfr\'ed R\'enyi is discussed. The R\'enyi entropy is studied from the perspective of the geometry of the Lebesgue and generalised, exotic…
R\'enyi divergence is related to R\'enyi entropy much like Kullback-Leibler divergence is related to Shannon's entropy, and comes up in many settings. It was introduced by R\'enyi as a measure of information that satisfies almost the same…
The entropy accumulation theorem, and its subsequent generalized version, is a powerful tool in the security analysis of many device-dependent and device-independent cryptography protocols. However, it has the drawback that the finite-size…
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…
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 >…
Numerous entropy-type characteristics (functionals) generalizing R\'enyi entropy are widely used in mathematical statistics, physics, information theory, and signal processing for characterizing uncertainty in probability distributions and…
The exact range of the joined values of several R\'{e}nyi entropies is determined. The method is based on topology with special emphasis on the orientation of the objects studied. Like in the case when only two orders of R\'{e}nyi entropies…
Entanglement criteria for an $n$-partite quantum system with continuous variables are formulated in terms of R\'{e}nyi entropies. R\'{e}nyi entropies are widely used as a good information measure due to many nice properties. Derived…
Rare events, and more general risk-sensitive quantities-of-interest (QoIs), are significantly impacted by uncertainty in the tail behavior of a distribution. Uncertainty in the tail can take many different forms, each of which leads to a…
Quantum processes can exhibit scenarios beyond a fixed order of events. We propose information inequalities that, when violated, constitute sufficient conditions to certify quantum processes without a fixed causal order -- causally…
