Abstract:
In this paper we derive some Jensen and Edmundson–Lah–Ribarič type inequalities for positive linear functionals without the assumption about the convexity of the functions that are involved. General results are then applied to generalized $f$-divergence functional. Examples with Zipf's law and Zipf–Mandelbrot law are given.
Key words and phrases:
Jensen inequality, Edmundson–Lah–Ribarič inequality, $f$-divergence, Kullback–Leibler divergence, Zipf–Mandelbrot law.
