Abstract: This work provides new bounds on the difference between the entropies of two discrete random variables in terms of the local and total variation distances between their probability mass ...

A discrete random variable is a type of random variable that can take on a countable set of distinct values. Common examples include the number of children in a family, the outcome of rolling a die, ...

Discrete structures are omnipresent in mathematics, computer science, statistical physics, optimisation and models of natural phenomena. For instance, complex random graphs serve as a model for social ...

Roll a die and ask students to identify the random variable. Since a die can only take on values of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, this is a discrete random variable. Repeat ...

A random variable is a variable whose possible values are numerical outcomes of a random phenomenon. It is a fundamental concept in probability and statistics, used to quantify and analyze random ...

Abstract: The paper deals with linear information inequalities valid for entropy functions induced by discrete random variables. Specifically, the so-called conditional Ingleton inequalities are in ...

Many physical platforms, including photons, ions, atoms, solid state and superconducting devices, and nuclear magnetic resonance 1, are being explored with the view of constructing a quantum computer.
