Abstract: We study here the elementary properties of the relative entropy cH(A,B)=r[phi(A)−phi(B)−phi′(B)(A−B)] for phi a convex function and A,B bounded self-adjoint operators. In particular, we prove that this relative entropy is monotone if and only if phi′ is operator monotone. We use this to appropriately define cH(A,B) in infinite dimension.


In this paper, it is introduced and discussed a relative entropy \[ \mathcal{H}_{\varphi} (A,B)=\operatorname{Tr}(\varphi (A)- \varphi (B)- \varphi ' (B)(A-B)) \] for \(\varphi \in C^0 ([0,1],\mathbb{R})\cap C^1 ((0,1),\mathbb{R})\). The important results of the paper are: (1) (Monotonicity). The entropy \(\mathcal{H}_{\varphi} (A,B)\) is monotone, that is, for any linear maps \(X:\mathfrak{H}_1 \rightarrow \mathfrak{H}_2\) such that \(X^*X \leqslant 1\) and any \(0 \leqslant A,B \leqslant 1\) on \(\mathfrak{H}_1\), it follows \[ \mathcal{H}_{\varphi} (A,B) \geqslant \mathcal{H}_{\varphi} (XAX^*,XBX^*). \] (2) (Approximation). If \(X_k:\mathfrak{H}_1 \rightarrow \mathfrak{H}_k\) is a sequence such that \(X^*_k X_k \leqslant 1\), \(X^*_k X_k \rightarrow 1\) strongly in \(\mathfrak{H}_1\), then \[ \mathcal{H}_{\varphi} (A,B)=\lim_{k\rightarrow\infty} \mathcal{H}_{\varphi} (X_k AX^*_k,X_k BX^*_k). \] (3) (Weak lower semi-continuity). If \(0 \leqslant A_n ,B_n \leqslant 1\), \(A_n,B_n \in \mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{H})\), \(A_n \rightharpoonup A\), \(B_n \rightharpoonup B\) weakly-\(\ast\) in \(\mathcal{B}(\mathfrak{H})\), then \[ \mathcal{H}_{\varphi} (A,B)\leqslant \liminf_{n\rightarrow\infty} \mathcal{H}_{\varphi} (A_n ,B_n ). \]
