Lecture Notes on Constant Elasticity Functions

Thomas F. Rutherford University of Colorado November, 2002 1 CES Utility In many economic textbooks the constant-elasticity-of-substitution (CES) utility function is defined as: U(x,y) = (αxρ +(1−α)yρ)1/ρ It is a tedious but straight-forward application of Lagrangian calculus to demonstrate that the associated demand functions are: x(p ...

Lecture 1: Entropy and mutual information

The proof can be found in [Cover & Thomas]. Note that an analogue of Jensen’s inequality exists for concave functions where the inequality simply changes sign. Relative entropy A very natural way to measure the distance between two probability distribu-tions is the relative entropy, also sometimes called the Kullback-Leibler divergence.

Its strength is that, although rectangles and trapezoids work better for linear functions,
