What characterizations of relative information are known?
I just want to make a point (and apologies if this seems already clear or obvious) that many such characterizations wil have a simple feature in common: a form of additivity axiom.
This goes right ba …

Bounding the difference of mutual information between input-output pairs
The problem is that entropy can differ arbitrarily despite a small total variation distance. Let
$X_1 = 0$ w.prob. $1$.
$X_2 = 0$ w.prob. $1-\delta$ and otherwise, $X_2 \sim \text{Uniform}\{1,\dots,n …

concentration inequality for entropy from sample
Here's a step that seems nice enough to point out. It still leaves a parameter to pick, and I'm not sure it's ever better than applying Bernstein, but it does something different.
We can get a probab …

Separating Heavier from the Lighter Balls
The answer is indeed asymptotic to $4n/\log(n)$, but I don't know of an elementary or easy construction for this upper bound. I believe simple probabilistic-method type constructions do not work.
Thi …

Computational complexity theoretic incompleteness: is that a thing?
This might be more of an analogy, but major complexity conjectures like P=NP could be considered related.
Background: a common "complete" problem for a specified time limit is: given a Turing machine, …
