Refinements of Pinsker's inequality

Abstract: Let V and D denote, respectively, total variation and divergence. We study lower bounds of D with V fixed. The theoretically best (i.e. largest) lower bound determines a function L = L(V), Vajda's tight lower bound, cf. Vajda, [?]. The main result is an exact parametrization of L. This leads to Taylor polynomials which are lower bounds for L, and thereby extensions of the classical Pinsker inequality which has numerous applications, cf.Pinsker, [?] and followers.

“…As discussed in [5], a straightforward application of the Alicki-Fannes inequality [27] implies that if D δ/2, then I acc 4δ log d + 2h 2 (δ), where h 2 (δ) = −δ log δ − (1 − δ) log (1 − δ) is the binary entropy. On the other hand, the Pinsker inequality implies that (see e.g., [28], and references therein) D (2 ln 2)I acc .…”
