Abstract: 

We introduce two relative entropy quantities called the minand max-relative entropies and discuss their properties and operational meanings. These relative entropies act as parent quantities for tasks such as data compression, information transmission and entanglement manipulation in one-shot information theory. Moreover, they lead us to define entanglement monotones which have interesting operational interpretations..
