The Physical Meaning of the Rényi Relative Entropy

Monotonicity of a relative Rényi entropy

We show that a recent definition of relative Rényi entropy is monotone under completely positive, trace preserving maps. This proves a recent conjecture of Müller–Lennert et al. Recently, Müller–Lennert et al. [12] and Wilde et al. [15] modified the traditional notion of relative Rényi entropy and showed that their new definition has several desirable properties of a relative entropy. One of th...

The Rate of Rényi Entropy for Irreducible Markov Chains

In this paper, we obtain the Rényi entropy rate for irreducible-aperiodic Markov chains with countable state space, using the theory of countable nonnegative matrices. We also obtain the bound for the rate of Rényi entropy of an irreducible Markov chain. Finally, we show that the bound for the Rényi entropy rate is the Shannon entropy rate.

Entropy Power Inequality for the Rényi Entropy

The classical entropy power inequality is extended to the Rényi entropy. We also discuss the question of the existence of the entropy for sums of independent random variables.

on the comparison of keyword and semantic-context methods of learning new vocabulary meaning

the rationale behind the present study is that particular learning strategies produce more effective results when applied together. the present study tried to investigate the efficiency of the semantic-context strategy alone with a technique called, keyword method. to clarify the point, the current study seeked to find answer to the following question: are the keyword and semantic-context metho...
