In this paper we provide a new inequality useful for the proofs of strong converse theorems in the multiterminal information theory. We apply this inequality to the recent work by Tyagi and Watanabe on the strong converse theorem for the…

We show that the inequality $H(A \mid B,X) + H(A \mid B,Y) \le H(A\mid B)$ for jointly distributed random variables $A,B,X,Y$, which does not hold in general case, holds under some natural condition on the support of the probability…

A short, information-theoretic proof of the Kac--Bernstein theorem, which is stated as follows, is presented: For any independent random variables $X$ and $Y$, if $X+Y$ and $X-Y$ are independent, then $X$ and $Y$ are normally distributed.

We present a simple proof of the entropy-power inequality using an optimal transportation argument which takes the form of a simple change of variables. The same argument yields a reverse inequality involving a conditional differential…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for hypercontractivity of the minima of nonnegative, i.i.d. random variables and of both the maxima of minima and the minima of maxima for such r.v.'s. It turns out that the idea of…

We generalize a result by Carlen and Cordero-Erausquin on the equivalence between the Brascamp-Lieb inequality and the subadditivity of relative entropy by allowing for random transformations (a broadcast channel). This leads to a unified…

A family of skew information quantities is obtained, in which the well-known Wigner-Yanase skew information and quantum Fisher information stand as special cases. A transparent proof of convexity of the generalized skew information is…
