| Oct 5, 2021 at 23:55 | comment | added | Tom Leinster | For what it's worth, this proof appears as Proposition A22 in the appendix to Tom Leinster and Christina Cobbold, Measuring diversity: the importance of species similarity, Ecology 93 (2012), 477-489. And it's also Lemma A.3.1 in my book Entropy and Diversity: The Axiomatic Approach (maths.ed.ac.uk/~tl/ed). But it's so simple that surely someone noticed before either of us --- Rényi himself, probably. | |
