Abstract
We consider the problem of determining the maximum and minimum of the Rényi divergence Dλ(P||Q) and Dλ(Q||P) for two probability distribution P and Q of discrete random variables X and Y provided that the probability distribution P and the parameter α of α-coupling between X and Y are fixed, i.e., provided that Pr{X = Y } = α.
