Abstract |
We establish a family of sharp entropy inequalities with Gaussian extremizers. These inequalities hold for certain dependent random variables, namely entropy-maximizing couplings subject to information constraints. Several well-known results, such as the Zamir-Feder and Brunn-Minkowski inequalities, follow as special cases.
