Entropy operates in non-linear semifields

We set out to demonstrate that the R\'enyi entropies with parameter $\alpha$ are better thought of as operating in a type of non-linear semiring called a positive semifield. We show how the R\'enyi's postulates lead to Pap's g-calculus where the functions carrying out the domain transformation are Renyi's information function and its inverse. In its turn, Pap's g-calculus under R\'enyi's information function transforms the set of positive reals into a family of semirings where "standard…

The Case for Shifting the Rényi Entropy
- Computer ScienceEntropy
- 2019
A variant of the Rényi entropy definition is introduced that aligns it with the well-known Hölder mean: in the new formulation, the r-th order RéNYi Entropy is the logarithm of the inverse of the R2 mean.

This paper provides a construction that suggests that semifields which are not idempotent are much more abundant than suspected, which would broaden enormously the scope and applications of \(\mathcal K\)-Formal Concept Analysis.

This work develops a theory for unifying large classes of nonlinear discrete-time dynamical systems obeying a superposition of a weighted maximum or minimum type and outlines applications in state-space modeling of non linear filtering; dynamic programming; fuzzy Markov chains; and tracking audiovisual salient events in multimodal information streams using generalized hidden Markov models with control inputs.
