  1. Hello, I have a doubt about the distribution of random variables that maximize the differential entropy in a set of inequalities. It is well known that the Normal distribution maximizes the differential entropy. I have the following set of inequalities: T1 < I(V;Y1|U) T2 < I(U;Y2) T3 < I(X1,X2;Y3|V) T4 < I(X1,X2;Y3) where, Y1=X1+N1, Y2=a*X1+N2, Y3=b*X1+X2+N3. N1,N2,N3 are Gaussian ~ N(0,1). The lower case a and b are positive real numbers a < b. U, V, X1 and X2 are random variables. I want to maximize that set of inequalities. I know the following: (i) From T4, h(Y3) maximum is when Y3 is Gaussian then X1 and X2 are Gaussian. (ii) From T2 we maximize it by having h(Y2) or h(a*X1+N2) maximum. From this by the Entropy Power Inequality (EPI) we bound -h(a*X1+N2|U) and have X1|U Gaussian. (iii) From T1 we maximize it by having h(Y1|U) or h(X1+N1|U) maximum which we can do as -h(a*X1+N2|U) in the part ii can be bounded having Y1 Gaussian (satisfying the maximum entropy theorem). The Question: From T3, can I assume that jointly Gaussian distribution will maximize h(Y3|V) or h(b*X1+X2+N3) having the assumptions i,ii,iii ? My aim is to show that jointly Gaussian distribution of U, V, X1 and X2 maximizes the set of inequalities. I hope anyone can help me out with this.
