Information inequalities govern the ultimate limitations in information theory and as such play an pivotal role in characterizing what values the entropy of multipartite states can take. Proving an information inequality, however, quickly…

Information is a valuable asset for agents in socio-economic systems, a significant part of the information being entailed into the very network of connections between agents. The different interlinkages patterns that agents establish may,…

This paper is devoted to the mathematical study of some divergences based on the mutual information well-suited to categorical random vectors. These divergences are generalizations of the "entropy distance" and "information distance". Their…

Some new inequalities of Karamata type are established with a convex function in this paper. The methods of our proof allow us to obtain an extended version of the reverse of Jensen inequality given by Pe{\v} cari\'c and Mi\'ci\'c. Applying…

The Pl\"unnecke-Ruzsa inequality is a fundamental tool to control the growth of finite subsets of abelian groups under repeated addition and subtraction. Other tools to handle sumsets have gained applicability by being extended to more…

A central question for causal inference is to decide whether a set of correlations fit a given causal structure. In general, this decision problem is computationally infeasible and hence several approaches have emerged that look for…

The paper makes the observation that all orders of information entropy are equal in signals composed of repeating units of distinct symbols where the units can be classified as a member of a symmetry group. This leads to an improved metric…

Predictive inference requires balancing statistical accuracy against informational complexity, yet the choice of complexity measure is usually imposed rather than derived. We treat econometric objects as predictive rules, mappings from…

We generalise the notion of separable equivalence, originally presented by Linckelmann (2011), to an equivalence relation on additive categories. We use this generalisation to show that from an initial equivalence between two algebras we…
