Proving a messy inequality

EDIT: After much work I was able to reduce the inequality to a single variable function which I need to show is non-positive. That function is (for $0\leq p\leq\frac{1}{2}$) $$\frac{p^2(\log(p))^2 - ( …

Entropy conjecture for distributions over $\mathbb{Z}_n$

Suppose we have two independent random variables $X$ (with distribution $p_X$) and $Y$ (with distribution $p_Y$) which take values in the cyclic group $\mathbb{Z}_n$. Let $Z = X +Y$, where the additio …

Proving a messy inequality

I think I managed to prove the entire inequality analytically. The whole proof is a bit long to post here (about 7 pages) and involves ugly looking expressions. I'll outline the general strategy I use …

Entropy conjecture for distributions over $\mathbb{Z}_n$

The conjecture is wrong! It wasn't as complicated as I thought it was. A simple counter example is over $\mathbb{Z}_6$. Consider $H(X) = 1$ and $H(y) = 1 +\epsilon$ where $\epsilon$ is very small. …
