对数凹分布的内禀熵

Intrinsic entropies of log-concave distributions

Varun Jog, Venkat Anantharam

摘要:

众所周知,随机变量的熵等于其典型集的体积的指数增长率。本文证明了对任意对数凹随机变量$X$,在$n \geq 1$维上$X$的典型集的$\lfloor nθ\rfloor^{\text{th}}$内禀体积序列以一个定义好的速率指数增长.我们用$h_X(θ)$表示这个速率,并称之为$X$的$θ^{\text{th}}$内禀熵。我们表明,$h_X(θ)$是$θ$在范围$[0,1]$的连续函数,从而提供了一个平滑的插值值0和$h(X)$之间的端点0和1,分别。

英文摘要:

The entropy of a random variable is well-known to equal the exponential growth rate of the volumes of its typical sets. In this paper, we show that for any log-concave random variable $X$, the sequence of the $\lfloor nθ\rfloor^{\text{th}}$ intrinsic volumes of the typical sets of $X$ in dimensions $n \geq 1$ grows exponentially with a well-defined rate. We denote this rate by $h_X(θ)$, and call it the $θ^{\text{th}}$ intrinsic entropy of $X$. We show that $h_X(θ)$ is a continuous function of $θ$ over the range $[0,1]$, thereby providing a smooth interpolation between the values 0 and $h(X)$ at the endpoints 0 and 1, respectively.
