Extended properties of the class of Rényi Generalized Entropies in the discrete time domain

Abstract

Over the years, information theoretic properties of the class of Rényi Generalized Entropies have been mainly reported in the continuous time domain. This paper makes a contribution towards an investigation of the properties of Renyi Generalized Entropies into the discrete time domain. Consequently, the applicability of Rényi Generalized Entropies, as probability methods of inference, may be extended in both time domains towards the study of high speed networks with heavy queue length tails.
