abstract

This study presents alternating optimization (AO) algorithms for computing $\alpha$-mutual information ($\alpha$-MI) and $\alpha$-capacity based on variational characterizations of $\alpha$-MI using a reverse channel. Specifically, we derive several variational characterizations of Sibson, Arimoto, Augustin--Csisz{\' a}r, and Lapidoth--Pfister MI and introduce novel AO algorithms for computing $\alpha$-MI and $\alpha$-capacity; their performances for computing $\alpha$-capacity are also compared. The comparison results show that the AO algorithm based on the Sibson MI's characterization has the fastest convergence speed.

  1. Alternating minimization for computing doubly minimized Petz Renyi mutual information

    quant-ph 2025-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    Alternating minimization provably computes the doubly minimized Petz Rényi mutual information for all quantum states, with linear convergence for α∈(1,2] and O(1/n) convergence for α∈(1/2,1).

  2. A Linearly Convergent Algorithm for Computing the Petz-Augustin Mean

    quant-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A fixed-point iteration computes the Petz-Augustin mean with linear convergence in the Thompson metric for alpha > 1/2, giving the first non-asymptotic guarantees for this quantity and for the Petz capacity.
