In this paper, one investigates the following type of transportation-information $T_cI$ inequalities: $\alpha(T_c(\nu,\mu))\le I(\nu|\mu)$ for all probability measures $\nu$ on some metric space $(\XX, d)$, where $\mu$ is a given…

Mixtures are convex combinations of laws. Despite this simple definition, a mixture can be far more subtle than its mixed components. For instance, mixing Gaussian laws may produce a potential with multiple deep wells. We study in the…

Given an arbitrary continuous probability density function, it is introduced a conjugated probability density, which is defined through the Shannon information associated with its cumulative distribution function. These new densities are…

We characterize information as risk reduction between knowledge states represented by partitions of the underlying probability space. Entropy corresponds to risk reduction from no (or partial) knowledge to full knowledge about a random…

New inequalities are proved for the variance of the Pitman estimators (minimum variance equivariant estimators) of \theta constructed from samples of fixed size from populations F(x-\theta). The inequalities are closely related to the…

We show that the mathematical form of the information measure of Fisher's I for a Gibbs' canonical probability distribution (the most important one in statistical mechanics) incorporates important features of the intrinsic structure of…

We establish an a priori estimate for the dissipation of the Fisher information for the space-homogeneous Landau equation with very soft potentials. This work is motivated by the recent breakthrough by Guillen and Silvestre, which proves…

Although there is growing interest in measuring integrated information in computational and cognitive systems, current methods for doing so in practice are computationally unfeasible. Existing and novel integration measures are investigated…

We give by simple arguments sufficient conditions, so called Lyapunov conditions, for Talagrand's transportation information inequality and for the logarithmic Sobolev inequality. Those sufficient conditions work even in the case where the…

We formulate entropic measurements uncertainty relations (MURs) for a spin-1/2 system. When incompatible observables are approximatively jointly measured, we use relative entropy to quantify the information lost in approximation and we…

We consider the Landau-Coulomb equation for initial data with bounded mass, finite numbers of moments, and entropy. We show the existence of a global weak solution that has bounded Fisher information for positive times. This solution is…

We introduce a new transformation called \emph{relative differential-escort}, which extends the usual differential-escort transformation by relating the change of variable to a reference probability density. As an application of it, we…

Fisher information, lies at the heart of parameter estimation theory, was recently found to have a close relation with multipartite entanglement (Pezz\'{e} and Smerzi, Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 100401). We use Fisher information to distinguish…
