Estimation of different entropies via Lidstone polynomial using Jensen-type functionals (Q2211906)

The main aim of this work is to construct some new functional of Jensen-type inequalities using Shannon entropy, \(f\)-divergence, and Rényi divergence. Furthermore, some estimates are also obtained for these new functionals. Using the Zipf-Mandelbrot law and hybrid Zipf-Mandelbrot law, the authors investigate some bounds for these new functionals, too. Finally, they generalize these new functionals for \(m\)-convex function using the notion Lidstone polynomials. After some preliminaries, in the second section the authors prove some inequalities for the Csiszár divergence, which is followed by some inequalities for the Shannon entropy in the third section and by analogous results for the Rényi divergence and entropy in the fourth section. Sections 5 and 6 are about the Shannon entropy, the Zipf-Mandelbrot law and the hybrid Zipf-Mandelbrot law. Finally, the last section of the paper generalizes some previous results concerning the refinement of Jensen-, Rényi-, and Shannon-type inequalities via Lidstone polynomial.
