Abstract
In previous work (see arxiv:1102.3040), we have defined the telescopic relative entropy (TRE), which is a regularisation of the quantum relative entropy , by replacing the second argument by a convex combination of the first and the second argument, and dividing the result by . We also explored some basic properties of the TRE. In this follow-up paper we state and prove two upper bounds on the variation of the TRE when either the first or the second argument changes. These bounds are close in spirit to a triangle inequality. For the ordinary relative entropy no such bounds are possible due to the fact that the variation could be infinite.
