A Csiszar-function is a member of,
F = { f:R_+ to R : f convex }.
The Log1p-Abs Csiszar-function is:
f(u) = u**(sign(u-1)) - 1
This function is so-named because it was invented from the following recipe. Choose a convex function g such that g(0)=0 and solve for f:
log(1 + f(u)) = g(log(u)).
<=>
f(u) = exp(g(log(u))) - 1
That is, the graph is identically g
when y-axis is log1p
-domain and x-axis
is log
-domain.
