This short note presents results about the symmetric Jensen-Shannon divergence between two discrete mixture distributions \(p_1\) and \(p_2\). Specifically, for \(i=1,2\), \(p_i\) is the mixture of a common distribution \(q\) and a distribution \(\tilde{p}_i\) with mixture proportion \(\lambda_i\)....
