| Abstract | Shannon's Entropy Power Inequality (EPI) can be viewed as characterizing the minimum differential entropy achievable by the sum of two independent random variables with fixed differential entropies. The EPI is a powerful tool and has been used to resolve a number of problems in information theory. In this paper we examine the existence of a similar entropy inequality for discrete random variables. We obtain an entropy power inequality for random variables taking values in any group of order $2^{n},$ i.e. for such a group G we explicitly characterize the function $f_{G}(x,$ y) giving the minimum entropy of the group product of two independent G-valued random variables with respective entropies x and y. Random variables achieving the extremum in this inequality are thus the analogs of Gaussians, and these are also determined. It turns out that $f_{G}(x,$ y) is convex in x for fixed y and, by symmetry, convex in y for fixed x. This is a generalization to groups of order $2^{n}$ of the result known as Mrs. Gerber's Lemma. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
