Information-spectrum methods focus on the non-independently and identically distributed setting, which have established source coding theory and channel coding theory.Typically finite and operations can be achieved only approximately, so this makes it necessary to consider the nonasymptotic scenario and even one-shot scenario.The information-spectrum relative entropy in one-shot scenario and related properties are studied. In particular, the relationship between the information-spectrum relative entropy and hypothesis testing relative entropy is given.The entropy rate,the conditional entropy and the mutual information with respect to the information-spectrum relative entropy are considered, and the equivalence relations of information-spectrum mutual information are discussed.Finally, the chain rules for them are given.

Shannon提出了简单的离散无记忆信源和信道模型,考虑独立同分布的(independently and identically distributed, i.i.d.)随机变量,采用渐近均分性(asymptotic equipartition property, AEP)给出了可靠通信的充要条件[1];但现实的信息处理过程中,常见的信源和信道是非平稳或有记忆的,Shannon信息论方案并不能直接应用。Han等[2⇓-4]提出信息谱方法(information-spectrum methods)构建了更一般的编码框架,分析非平稳信源的数据压缩或离散有记忆信道的信道编码等问题。Han[4-5]等也运用信息谱思想给出了大偏差概率理论中的假设检验问题,并通过谱散度率给出一般信源(包括非平稳或非遍历信源)第二类误差概率的最佳指数。信息谱方法还应用于通信理论的其他领域,如一般的Gelfand-Pinsker信道的容量问题[6]以及随机数的萃取[7]。文献[8⇓-10]将非独立同分布随机序列假设检验的方法运用到一般量子态序列的假设检验问题。Hayashi和Datta[11-12]各自用不同的方式将谱散度率推广到量子情形中,称之为量子谱散度率。量子谱散度率在量子纠缠度量和平滑熵中有很好的应用[13-14]。量子信息谱在经典-量子信道容量[11]、量子信源编码[15]、带限制边信息的经典-量子信道编码[16]、有限码长的二阶情形[17]等方面应用广泛。
