f-Divergence for convex bodies

نویسنده

  • Elisabeth M. Werner
چکیده

We introduce f -divergence, a concept from information theory and statistics, for convex bodies in R. We prove that f -divergences are SL(n) invariant valuations and we establish an affine isoperimetric inequality for these quantities. We show that generalized affine surface area and in particular the Lp affine surface area from the Lp Brunn Minkowski theory are special cases of f -divergences.

On mixed f - divergence for multiple pairs of measures ∗

In this paper, we extend the concept of classical f -divergence (for a pair of measures) to mixed f -divergence (for multiple pairs of measures). Mixed f -divergence provides a way to measure the difference between multiple pairs of probability distributions. Properties for mixed f -divergence are established, such as permutation invariance and symmetry in distributions. We also provide an Alex...

On the mixed $f$-divergence for multiple pairs of measures

In this paper, the concept of the classical f -divergence (for a pair of measures) is extended to the mixed f divergence (for multiple pairs of measures). The mixed f -divergence provides a way to measure the difference between multiple pairs of (probability) measures. Properties for the mixed f -divergence are established, such as permutation invariance and symmetry in distributions. An Alexan...

Relative entropies for convex bodies

We introduce a new class of (not necessarily convex) bodies and show, among other things, that these bodies provide yet another link between convex geometric analysis and information theory. Namely, they give geometric interpretations of the relative entropy of the cone measures of a convex body and its polar and related quantities. Such interpretations were first given by Paouris and Werner fo...

Divergence for s-concave and log concave functions

We prove new entropy inequalities for log concave and s-concave functions that strengthen and generalize recently established reverse log Sobolev and Poincaré inequalities for such functions. This leads naturally to the concept of f -divergence and, in particular, relative entropy for s-concave and log concave functions. We establish their basic properties, among them the affine invariant valua...

Stability results for some geometric inequalities and their functional versions ∗

The Blaschke Santaló inequality and the Lp affine isoperimetric inequalities are major inequalities in convex geometry and they have a wide range of applications. Functional versions of the Blaschke Santaló inequality have been established over the years through many contributions. More recently and ongoing, such functional versions have been established for the Lp affine isoperimetric inequali...
