Yet Another Proof of the Entropy Power Inequality

Information Theory 2017-02-22 v3 math.IT

Abstract

Yet another simple proof of the entropy power inequality is given, which avoids both the integration over a path of Gaussian perturbation and the use of Young's inequality with sharp constant or R\'enyi entropies. The proof is based on a simple change of variables, is formally identical in one and several dimensions, and easily settles the equality case.
