Abstract

Three measures of divergence between vectors in a convex set of a n -dimensional real vector space are defined in terms of certain types of entropy functions, and their convexity property is studied. Among other results, a classification of the entropies of degree \alpha is obtained by the convexity of these measures. These results have applications in information theory and biological studies.
