New estimates for generalized Shannon and Zipf-Mandelbrot entropies via convexity results

Shannon and Zipf-Mandelbrot entropies have several applications in various fields such as ecology, statistics, physics and information theory etc. The aim of this article is to utilize some results of Jensen’s inequality for convex functions and to present several new estimates for generalized Zipf-...
