We show that an information-theoretic property of Shannon's entropy power, known as concavity of entropy power, can be fruitfully employed to prove inequalities in sharp form. In particular, the concavity of entropy power implies the…

Relative to the Gaussian measure on $\mathbb{R}^d$, entropy and Fisher information are famously related via Gross' logarithmic Sobolev inequality (LSI). These same functionals also separately satisfy convolution inequalities, as proved by…

We generalize the usual exponential Boltzmann factor to any reasonable and potentially observable distribution function, $B(E)$. By defining generalized logarithms $\Lambda$ as inverses of these distribution functions, we are led to a…

We develop a reverse entropy power inequality for convex measures, which may be seen as an affine-geometric inverse of the entropy power inequality of Shannon and Stam. The specialization of this inequality to log-concave measures may be…

We establish the equivalence between exponential decay of the relative entropy along a quantum Markov semigroup and the modified logarithmic Sobolev inequality for general von Neumann algebras. We also extend an intertwining criterion for…

An "entropy increasing to the maximum" result analogous to the entropic central limit theorem (Barron 1986; Artstein et al. 2004) is obtained in the discrete setting. This involves the thinning operation and a Poisson limit. Monotonic…

For statistical systems that violate one of the four Shannon-Khinchin axioms, entropy takes a more general form than the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy. The framework of superstatistics allows one to formulate a maximum entropy principle with…

Statements of Shannon's Noiseless Coding Theorem by various authors, including the original, are reviewed and clarified. Traditional statements of the theorem are often unclear as to when it applies. A new notation is introduced and the…

In this paper we remark that Shannon entropy can be expressed as a function of the self-information (i.e. the logarithm) and the inverse of the Lambert $W$ function. It means that we consider that Shannon entropy has the trace form: $-k…

We provide a simple physical interpretation, in the context of the second law of thermodynamics, to the information inequality (a.k.a. the Gibbs' inequality, which is also equivalent to the log-sum inequality), asserting that the relative…

We give here a simple proof of weighted logarithmic Sobolev inequality, for example for Cauchy type measures, with optimal weight, sharpening results of Bobkov-Ledoux. Some consequences are also discussed.

We establish dual equivalent forms involving relative entropy, Fisher information and optimal transport costs of inverse Santal{\'o} inequalities. We show in particular that the Mahler conjecture is equivalent to some dimensional lower…

In the present paper we give proof that the information-transmission capacity of the approximate position measurement with the oscillator energy constraint, which underlies noisy Gaussian homodyning in quantum optics, is attained on…

Within a framework of utmost generality, we show that the entropy maximization procedure with linear constraints uniquely leads to the Shannon-Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy. Therefore, the use of this procedure with linear constraints should not…

We show that Shannon's entropy--power inequality admits a strengthened version in the case in which the densities are log-concave. In such a case, in fact, one can extend the Blachman--Stam argument to obtain a sharp inequality for the…

Both direct and reverse log-Sobolev inequalities, relating the Shannon entropy with a $\mu$-deformed energy, are shown to hold in a family of $\mu$-deformed Segal-Bargmann spaces. This shows that the $\mu$-deformed energy of a state is…

We establish a general class of entropy inequalities that take the concise form of Gaussian comparisons. The main result unifies many classical and recent results, including the Shannon-Stam inequality, the Brunn-Minkowski inequality, the…

We develop an information-theoretic perspective on some questions in convex geometry, providing for instance a new equipartition property for log-concave probability measures, some Gaussian comparison results for log-concave measures, an…

We establish a reverse inequality for Tsallis relative operator entropy involving a positive linear map. In addition, we present converse of Ando's inequality, for each parameter. We give examples to compare our results with the known…

We study the $p$-R\'{e}nyi entropy power inequality with a weight factor $t$ on two independent continuous random variables $X$ and $Y$. The extension essentially relies on a modulation on the sharp Young's inequality due to Bobkov and…
