In this work we study the Hausdorff dimension of measures whose weight distribution satisfies a markov non-homogeneous property. In particular, we prove that the Hausdorff dimensions of this kind of measures coincide with their lower Rényi dimensions (entropy). Moreover, we show that the Tricot dimensions (packing dimension) equal upper Rényi dimensions. As an application we get a continuity pr...

A key result of classical information theory states that if the rate a randomly generated codebook is less than mutual between channel's input and output, then probability has negligible error goes to one as blocklength infinity. In an attempt bridge gap probabilistic world combinatorial zero-error theory, this work derives necessary sufficient conditions on so operated under list decoding (for...

We establish the optimal quantization problem for probabilities under constrained Rényi-α-entropy of the quantizers. We determine the optimal quantizers and the optimal quan-tization error of one-dimensional uniform distributions including the known special cases α = 0 (restricted codebook size) and α = 1 (restricted Shannon entropy).

We formulate two types of extensions of the large deviation theory initiated by Bahadur in a non-regular setting. One can be regarded as a bound of the point estimation, the other can be regarded as the limit of a bound of the interval estimation. Both coincide in the regular case, but do not necessarily coincide in a non-regular case. Using the limits of relative Rényi entropies, we derive the...

The Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy in the sense of Tsallis under Bernoulli shifts was obtained by Mesón and Vericat [J. Math. Phys. 37, 4480(1996)]. In this paper, we propose a revised generalized Kolmogorov-Sinai-q entropy under Markov shifts. The form of this generalized entropy with factor q is nonextensive. The new generalized entropy contains the classical Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy and Renýı entr...

In the past few years, several entropy-based tests have been proposed for testing either single SNP association or gene-gene interaction. These tests are mainly based on Shannon entropy and have higher statistical power when compared to standard χ2 tests. In this paper, we extend some of these tests using a more generalized entropy definition, Rényi entropy, where Shannon entropy is a special c...

Toeplitz matrices have applications to different problems of statistical mechanics. Recently it was used for calculation of entanglement entropy in exactly solvable models including spin chains. We use Fisher-Hartwig formula to calculate entanglement entropy [as well as Rényi entropy] of large block of spins in the ground state of XY spin chain. In the end of the paper we announce our recent re...
