Generalized Jensen divergence analysis of atomic electron densities in conjugated spaces

Abstract: Several measures of divergence have been used in the past to quantify the dissimilarity between two or more one-particle atomic densities. The advantages and difficulties of them to capture the differences among different atomic systems in the position and momentum spaces are studied. One of these measures, the Jensen-Shannon divergence, is generalized giving rise to a one-parameter divergence, the Jensen-Rényi divergence, here proposed for a deep study of atomic systems, improving the above previous results. … Show more

“…Let us mention the relevant role played by the exchange and kinetic terms in the expansion of the functional for the total energy, 1 the Shannon entropy 25 (as a limiting case having its roots in information theory, statistical mechanics, and thermodynamics), or the disequilibrium 33 in the study of organization patterns in statistical mechanics, to mention a few of them. Additionally, let us remark that some of the previous functionals are essential ingredients in defining a variety of further information-theoretic concepts (e.g., complexity, 34 similarity, 37 and divergence [38][39][40] ).…”

“…II), they have been considered as essential tools in a wide variety of fields, including the study of threedimensional (d = 3) many-electron systems and physical processes. Many of those studies have emphasized the role played by the order "q" of the aforementioned density functionals, as also done in more recent applications based on the concepts of Jensen-Rényi, 39 Jensen-Tsallis, 38 and Kullback-Leibler 45 divergences, the quantum similarity index 46,47 and its generalization 48 or the generalized shape complexity, 49 among others. In most of these applications, considering low enough values (usually below unity) of the order q appears very important in order to get non-trivial information, based on the features of the one-particle density in position space, regarding a variety of relevant properties of, e.g., atomic systems.…”

“…Since then, many other measures of divergence have been proposed and studied, in particular by using both local (Fisher) [32,33] and global (Shannon) [31] theoreticinformation magnitudes. Some generalized entropies such as the Rényi one [34] have also been used to formulate deeper or more precise measures of discrepancy or distinguishability [35]. Applications of similarity and divergence measures to the study of atomic systems have been carried out in recent years, including the use of the quantum similarity index (QSI) [18] and the Jensen-Shannon divergence (JSD) [36].…”

“…In general, it quantifies the question of how different or similar one density is to another. Such distances between electronic charge densities have been related to differences in physical properties between different species, among other applications .
