From almost Gaussian to Gaussian

Résumé

We consider lower and upper bounds on the difference of differential entropies of a Gaussian random vector and an approximately Gaussian random vector after they are “smoothed” by an arbitrarily distributed random vector of finite power. These bounds are important to establish the optimality of the corner points in the capacity region of Gaussian interference channels. A problematic issue in a previous attempt to establish these bounds was detected in 2004 and the mentioned corner points have since been dubbed “the missing corner points”. The importance of the given bounds comes from the fact that they induce Fano-type inequalities for the Gaussian interference channel. Usual Fano inequalities are based on a communication requirement. In this case, the new inequalities are derived from a non-disturbance constraint. The upper bound on the difference of differential entropies is established by the data processing inequality (DPI). For the lower bound, we do not have a complete proof, but we present an argument based on continuity and the DPI.
