Information based thermodynamic logic is revisited. It consists of two parts: Part A applies the modern theory of probability in which an arbitrary convex function \phi is employed as an analytic "device" to express information as…
We give a new approach, inspired by H\"ormander's $L^2$-method, to weighted variance inequalities which extend results obtained by Bobkov and Ledoux. It provides in particular a local proof of the dimensional functional forms of the…
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…
This thesis addresses the interplay between asymptotic hypothesis testing and entropy inequalities in quantum information theory. In the first part of the thesis we focus on hypothesis testing. We consider two main settings; one can either…
The task of compression of data -- as stated by the source coding theorem -- is one of the cornerstones of information theory. Data compression usually exploits statistical redundancies in the data according to its prior distribution.…
Bounds on information combining are entropic inequalities that determine how the information, or entropy, of a set of random variables can change when they are combined in certain prescribed ways. Such bounds play an important role in…
Using entropic inequalities from information theory, we provide new bounds on the total variation and 2-Wasserstein distances between a conditionally Gaussian law and a Gaussian law with invertible covariance matrix. We apply our results to…
Integral representations of quantum relative entropy, and of the directional second and higher order derivatives of von Neumann entropy, are established, and used to give simple proofs of fundamental, known data processing inequalities: the…
We provide a unifying interpretation of various optimal transport problems as a minimisation of a linear functional over the set of all Choquet representations of a given pair of probability measures ordered with respect to a certain convex…
In this note I give an information-theoretic proof of the Bonami-Beckner-Gross hypercontractive inequality.
Fundamental relations between information and estimation have been established in the literature for the continuous-time Gaussian and Poisson channels, in a long line of work starting from the classical representation theorems by Duncan and…
As conventional communication systems based on classic information theory have closely approached the limits of Shannon channel capacity, semantic communication has been recognized as a key enabling technology for the further improvement of…
In the context of agent based modeling and network theory, we focus on the problem of recovering behavior-related choice information from origin-destination type data, a topic also known under the name of network tomography. As a basis for…
We introduce a pair of transformations, which are mutually inverse, acting on rather general classes of probability densities in R. These transformations have the property of interchanging the main informational measures such as p-moments,…
We continue our investigation of the intertwining relations for Markov semigroups and extend the results of [9] to multi-dimensional diffusions. In particular these formulae entail new functional inequalities of Brascamp-Lieb type for…
It is known that many classical inequalities linked to convolutions can be obtained by looking at the monotonicity in time of convolutions of powers of solutions to the heat equation, provided that both the exponents and the coefficients of…
Markov random fields area popular model for high-dimensional probability distributions. Over the years, many mathematical, statistical and algorithmic problems on them have been studied. Until recently, the only known algorithms for…
Abstract H\"{o}lder-Brascamp-Lieb inequalities have become a ubiquitous tool in Fourier analysis in recent years, due in large part to a theorem of Bennett, Carbery, Christ, and Tao (2008,2010) characterizing finiteness of the…
Methods have been developed to identify the probability distribution of a random vector $Z$ from information consisting of its bounded range and the probability density function or moments of a quantity of interest, $Q(Z)$. The mapping from…
The conditional entropy power inequality is a fundamental inequality in information theory, stating that the conditional entropy of the sum of two conditionally independent vector-valued random variables each with an assigned conditional…
