Chain rules for quantum Rényi entropies

Chain rules and subadditivity for Tsallis entropies

Chain rules for Tsallis type entropies are proven, as including the famous pseudoadditivity in nonextensive statistics as a special case. They give important relations between Tsallis conditional entropy and Tsallis joint entropy. Moreover the subadditivity of Tsallis type entropies is shown for the correlated two random variables in the case of q ≥ 1 with the help of the generalized Shannon in...

Swiveled Rényi entropies

This paper introduces “swiveled Rényi entropies” as an alternative to the Rényi entropic quantities put forward in [Berta et al., Physical Review A 91, 022333 (2015)]. What distinguishes the swiveled Rényi entropies from the prior proposal of Berta et al. is that there is an extra degree of freedom: an optimization over unitary rotations with respect to particular fixed bases (swivels). A conse...

Joint Range of Rényi Entropies

The exact range of the joined values of several Rényi entropies is determined. The method is based on topology with special emphasis on the orientation of the objects studied.

Strong converse theorems using Rényi entropies

Rényi entropies and nonlinear diffusion equations

Since their introduction in the early sixties [20], the Rényi entropies have been used in many contexts, ranging from information theory to astrophysics, turbulence phenomena and others. In this note, we enlighten the main connections between Rényi entropies and nonlinear diffusion equations. In particular, it is shown that these relationships allow to prove various functional inequalities in s...
