We discuss stochastic representations of advection diffusion equations with variable diffusivity, stochastic integrals of motion and generalized relative entropies.
متن کاملDisplacement convexity of generalized relative entropies. II
We introduce a class of generalized relative entropies (inspired by the Bregman divergence in information theory) on the Wasserstein space over a weighted Riemannian or Finsler manifold. We prove that the convexity of all the entropies in this class is equivalent to the combination of the non-negative weighted Ricci curvature and the convexity of another weight function used in the definition o...
متن کاملContinuity of a class of entropies and relative entropies
The present paper studies continuity of generalized entropy functions and relative entropies defined using the notion of a deformed logarithmic function. In particular, two distinct definitions of relative entropy are discussed. As an application, all considered entropies are shown to satisfy Lesche’s stability condition. The entropies of Tsallis’ nonextensive thermostatistics are taken as exam...
متن کاملSe p 20 04 Coarse - grained distributions and superstatistics
We show an interesting connexion between the coarse-grained distribution function arising in the theory of violent relaxation for collisionless stellar systems (Lynden-Bell 1967) and the notion of superstatistics introduced recently by Beck & Cohen (2003). We also discuss the analogies and differences between the statistical equilibrium state of a multi-components self-gravitating system and th...
متن کاملMinimization Problems Based on a Parametric Family of Relative Entropies I: Forward Projection
Minimization problems with respect to a one-parameter family of generalized relative entropies are studied. These relative entropies, which we term relative α-entropies (denoted Iα), arise as redundancies under mismatched compression when cumulants of compressed lengths are considered instead of expected compressed lengths. These parametric relative entropies are a generalization of the usual r...
