entropy, Shannon entropy, collision entropy, and min-entropy. The Rényi entropy is named after Alfréd Rényi, who looked for the most general way to quantify...

index is also called as Information gain. The Rényi entropy is a generalization of the Shannon entropy to other values of q than 1. It can be expressed:...

known as the Hartley entropy or max-entropy. The Hartley function coincides with the Shannon entropy (as well as with the Rényi entropies of all orders) in...

Quantum relative entropy – a measure of distinguishability between two quantum states. Rényi entropy – a generalization of Shannon entropy; it is one of...

The min-entropy, in information theory, is the smallest of the Rényi family of entropies, corresponding to the most conservative way of measuring the unpredictability...

contributions in combinatorics, graph theory, and number theory. Rényi was born in Budapest to Artúr Rényi and Borbála Alexander; his father was a mechanical engineer...

the definition of Shannon entropy from Rényi when r → 1 {\displaystyle r\rightarrow 1} , of Hartley entropy (or max-entropy) when r → 0 {\displaystyle...

sufficient randomness in extractors is min-entropy, a value related to Shannon entropy through Rényi entropy; Rényi entropy is also used in evaluating randomness...

Renyi index α ≥ 0 {\displaystyle \alpha \geq 0} . It is defined as the Rényi entropy of the reduced density matrices: S α ( ρ A ) = 1 1 − α log ⁡ tr ⁡ (...
