Lower bound for the $p$-th absolute moment of a sum of random variables

If the $X_i$ are i.i.d. Gaussian with variance $1$, then you have $$ c_p := \mathbb{E} |X_k|^p = \frac{2^{p/2} \Gamma(\frac{p+1}{2})}{\sqrt{\pi}}.$$ The variable $S_n$ is also Gaussian with variance $ …

Discrete entropy of the integer part of a random variable

Let $X$ be a real valued random variable. Of course, the integer part $\lfloor X \rfloor$ of $X$ is a discrete random variable taking values in $\mathbb{Z}$. We can therefore define its discrete entro …
