The rates of convergence for generalized entropy of the normalized sums of IID random variables

Abstract: We consider the generalized differential entropy of normalized sums of independent and identically distributed (IID) continuous random variables. We prove that the R\'{e}nyi entropy and Tsallis entropy of order $\alpha\ (\alpha>0)$ of the normalized sum of IID continuous random variables with bounded moments are convergent to the corresponding R\'{e}nyi entropy and Tsallis entropy of the Gaussian limit, and obtain sharp rates of convergence.
