Appendix A Proofs

A.1 Proof of Theorem 1

Therefore, for the objective function in Equation (1), we can write the following:

Knowing that TV is a metric distance satisfying the triangle inequality, the above equations show that

Therefore,

A.2 Proof of Theorem 2

A.3 Proof of Theorem 3

Therefore, we can follow the proof of Theorems 1,2 which shows the above inequality leads to the bounds claimed in the theorems.

Appendix B Additional Results for Image Dataset

This part shows the inductive biases of DP-based fair classifier for CelebA dataset, as well as the visualized plots. For the baselines, two fair classifiers are implemented for image fair classification: KDE proposed by [11] and MI proposed by [6], based on ResNet-18 [28].
