A note on how Rényi entropy can create a spectrum of probabilistic merging operators

Martin Adamčík (2019)

Kybernetika

In this paper we present a result that relates merging of closed convex sets of discrete probability functions respectively by the squared Euclidean distance and the Kullback-Leibler divergence, using an inspiration from the Rényi entropy. While selecting the probability function with the highest Shannon entropy appears to be a convincingly justified way of representing a closed convex set of probability functions, the discussion on how to represent several closed convex sets of probability functions...

A Relation between the Weyl Group W(e8) and Eight-Line Arrangements on a Real Projective Plane

Fukui, Tetsuo, Sekiguchi, Jiro (2007)

Serdica Journal of Computing

The paper has been presented at the 12th International Conference on Applications of Computer Algebra, Varna, Bulgaria, June, 2006.The Weyl group W(E8) acts on the con guration space of systems of labelled eight lines on a real projective plane. With a system of eight lines with a certain condition, a diagram consisting of ten roots of the root system of type E8 is associated. We have already shown the existence of a W(E8)-equivariant map of the totality of such diagrams to the set of systems of...

A rough curvature-dimension condition for metric measure spaces

Anca-Iuliana Bonciocat (2014)

Open Mathematics

We introduce and study a rough (approximate) curvature-dimension condition for metric measure spaces, applicable especially in the framework of discrete spaces and graphs. This condition extends the one introduced by Karl-Theodor Sturm, in his 2006 article On the geometry of metric measure spaces II, to a larger class of (possibly non-geodesic) metric measure spaces. The rough curvature-dimension condition is stable under an appropriate notion of convergence, and stable under discretizations as...
