Rényi divergence and generalized channel capacity relation
Rényi divergence and generalized channel capacity relation
Let be a non-uniform distribution and the uniform distribution on a support of cardinality . Let be the matrix with two rows, and , and columns. The quantities and denote, respectively, Rényi's divergence of degree and the generalized channel capacity of degree (identified here with the standard Shannon channel capacity). The Rényi–capacity conjecture.
This conjecture proposes an exact quantitative relation between Rényi divergence and channel capacity for the binary-input channel whose rows are and . The supplied text gives no evidence that the relation has been proved or disproved.
