Entropic uncertainty relations are interesting in their own rights as well as for a lot of applications. Keeping this in mind, we try to make the corresponding inequalities as tight as possible. The use of parametrized entropies also allows…

We propose a new family of regularized R\'enyi divergences parametrized not only by the order $\alpha$ but also by a variational function space. These new objects are defined by taking the infimal convolution of the standard R\'enyi…

The R\'{e}nyi cross-entropy measure between two distributions, a generalization of the Shannon cross-entropy, was recently used as a loss function for the improved design of deep learning generative adversarial networks. In this work, we…

We extend the Rate-Distortion-Perception (RDP) framework to the R\'enyi information-theoretic regime, utilizing Sibson's $\alpha$-mutual information to characterize the fundamental limits under distortion and perception constraints. For…

The concept of Shannon entropy of random variables was generalized to measurable functions in general, and to simple functions with finite values in particular. It is shown that the information measure of a function is related to the time…

The R\'enyi information measures are characterized in terms of their Shannon counterparts, and properties of the former are recovered from first principle via the associated properties of the latter. Motivated by this characterization, a…

R\'enyi transfer entropy (RTE) is a generalization of classical transfer entropy that replaces Shannon's entropy with R\'enyi's information measure. This, in turn, introduces a new tunable parameter $\alpha$, which accounts for sensitivity…

Entropies must correspond to mean values for them to be measurable. The Shannon entropy corresponds to the weighted arithmetic mean, whereas the Renyi entropy corresponds to the exponential mean. These means refer to code lengths, which are…
