New estimates for Csiszár divergence and Zipf-Mandelbrot entropy via Jensen-Mercer's inequality (Q2221991)

Summary: Jensen's inequality is one of the fundamental inequalities which has several applications in almost every field of science. In [JIPAM, J. Inequal. Pure Appl. Math. 4, No. 4, Paper No. 73, 2 p. (2003; Zbl 1048.26016)], \textit{A. McD. Mercer} gave a variant of Jensen's inequality which is known as Jensen-Mercer's inequality. The purpose of this article is to propose new bounds for Csiszár and related divergences by means of Jensen-Mercer's inequality. Also, we investigate several new bounds for Zipf-Mandelbrot entropy. The idea of this article may further stimulate research on information theory with the help of Jensen-Mercer's inequality.
