Legendre transform structure and extremal properties of the relative Fisher information
نویسندگان
چکیده
Variational extremization of the relative Fisher information (RFI, hereafter) is performed. Reciprocity relations, akin to those of thermodynamics are derived, employing the extremal results of the RFI expressed in terms of probability amplitudes. A time independent Schrödinger-like equation (Schrödinger-like link) for the RFI is derived. The concomitant Legendre transform structure (LTS, hereafter) is developed by utilizing a generalized RFI-Euler theorem, which shows that the entire mathematical structure of thermodynamics translates into the RFI framework, both for equilibrium and non-equilibrium cases. The qualitatively distinct nature of the present results vis-á-vis those of prior studies utilizing the Shannon entropy and/or the Fisher information measure (FIM, hereafter) is discussed. A principled relationship between the RFI and the FIM frameworks is derived. The utility of this relationship is demonstrated by an example wherein the energy eigenvalues of the Schrödinger-like link for the RFI is inferred solely using the quantum mechanical virial theorem and the LTS of the RFI.

Hellmann-Feynman connection for the relative Fisher information
The (i) reciprocity relations for the relative Fisher information (RFI, hereafter) and (ii) a generalized RFI-Euler theorem, are self-consistently derived from the Hellmann-Feynman theorem. These new reciprocity relations generalize the RFIEuler theorem and constitute the basis for building up a mathematical Legendre transform structure (LTS, hereafter), akin to that of thermodynamics, that und...
متن کاملKoszul Information Geometry and Souriau Geometric Temperature/Capacity of Lie Group Thermodynamics
The François Massieu 1869 idea to derive some mechanical and thermal properties of physical systems from “Characteristic Functions”, was developed by Gibbs and Duhem in thermodynamics with the concept of potentials, and introduced by Poincaré in probability. This paper deals with generalization of this Characteristic Function concept by Jean-Louis Koszul in Mathematics and by Jean-Marie Souriau...
متن کاملSome properties of generalized Fisher information in the context of nonextensive thermostatistics
We present two extended forms of Fisher information that fit well in the context of nonextensive thermostatistics. We show that there exists an interplay between these generalized Fisher information, the generalized q-Gaussian distributions and the q-entropies. The minimum of the generalized Fisher information among distributions with a fixed moment, or with a fixed qentropy is attained, in bot...
متن کاملNumerical solution of nonlinear Hammerstein integral equations by using Legendre-Bernstein basis
In this study a numerical method is developed to solve the Hammerstein integral equations. To this end the kernel has been approximated using the leastsquares approximation schemes based on Legender-Bernstein basis. The Legender polynomials are orthogonal and these properties improve the accuracy of the approximations. Also the nonlinear unknown function has been approximated by using the Berns...
