General relative entropy inequality: an illustration on growth models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce the notion of General Relative Entropy Inequality for several linear PDEs. This concept extends to equations that are not concervation laws, the notion of relative entropy for conservative parabolic, hyperbolic or integral equations. These are particularly natural in the context of biological applications where birth and death can be described by zeroth order terms. But the concept also has applications to more general growth models as the fragmentation equations. We give several types of applications of the General Relative Entropy Inequality: a priori estimates and existence of solution, long time asymptotic to a steady state, attraction to periodic solutions. Key-words: Relative entropy, fragmentation equations, cell division, self-similar solutions, periodic solutions, long time asymptotic. AMS class. No: 35B40, 35B10, 82C21, 92B05, 92D25

Free Transportation Cost Inequalities via Random Matrix Approximation
By means of random matrix approximation procedure, we reprove Biane and Voiculescu’s free analog of Talagrand’s transportation cost inequality for measures on R in a more general setup. Furthermore, we prove the free transportation cost inequality for measures on T as well by extending the method to special unitary random matrices. Introduction In 1996, M. Talagrand [26] obtained an interesting...
متن کاملA Utility-Based Approach to Some Information Measures
We review a decision theoretic, i.e., utility-based, motivation for entropy and KullbackLeibler relative entropy, the natural generalizations that follow, and various properties of these generalized quantities. We then consider these generalized quantities in an easily interpreted special case. We show that the resulting quantities, share many of the properties of entropy and relative entropy, ...
متن کاملOn the quantum f -relative entropy and generalized data processing inequalities
We study the fundamental properties of the quantum f -relative entropy, where f(·) is an operator convex function. We give the equality conditions under monotonicity and joint convexity, and these conditions are more general than, since they hold for a class of operator convex functions, and different for f(t) = − ln(t) from, the previously known conditions. The quantum f -entropy is defined in...
متن کاملInequalities of Ando's Type for $n$-convex Functions
By utilizing different scalar equalities obtained via Hermite's interpolating polynomial, we will obtain lower and upper bounds for the difference in Ando's inequality and in the Edmundson-Lah-Ribariv c inequality for solidarities that hold for a class of $n$-convex functions. As an application, main results are applied to some operator means and relative operator entropy.
متن کاملConsistency of the Maximum Likelihood Estimator for General Hidden Markov Models
Abstract. Consider a parametrized family of general hidden Markov models, where both the observed and unobserved components take values in a complete separable metric space. We prove that the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE) of the parameter is strongly consistent under a rather minimal set of assumptions. As special cases of our main result, we obtain consistency in a large class of nonlinea...
