title = "Upper bounds on the relative entropy and R{\'e}nyi divergence as a function of total variation distance for finite alphabets",
abstract = "A new upper bound on the relative entropy is derived as a function of the total variation distance for probability measures defined on a common finite alphabet. The bound improves a previously reported bound by Csisz{\'a}r and Talata. It is further extended to an upper bound on the R{\'e}nyi divergence of an arbitrary non-negative order (including ∞) as a function of the total variation distance.",
