Upper Bounds on the Relative Entropy and Rényi Divergence as a Function of Total Variation Distance for Finite Alphabets

preprint2015arXivOpen access

Abstract

A new upper bound on the relative entropy is derived as a function of the total variation distance for probability measures defined on a common finite alphabet. The bound improves a previously reported bound by Csiszár and Talata. It is further extended to an upper bound on the Rényi divergence of an arbitrary non-negative order (including ∞\infty) as a function of the total variation distance.
