A closed-form formula for the Kullback-Leibler divergence between Cauchy distributions

Résumé

We report a closed-form expression for the Kullback-Leibler divergence between Cauchy distributions which involves the calculation of a novel definite integral. The formula shows that the Kullback-Leibler divergence between Cauchy densities is always finite and symmetric.
