Ball–Nayar–Tkocz planar Shannon reverse entropy power conjecture

About 10 years old · traced to

Let (U,V)(U,V) be the coordinates of a symmetric log-concave random vector in R2\mathbb{R}^2. Ball–Nayar–Tkocz's conjecture.

N11/2(U+V)≤N11/2(U)+N11/2(V).N_1^{1/2}(U+V)\leq N_1^{1/2}(U)+N_1^{1/2}(V).

This inequality is equivalent to the triangle inequality needed for the associated Shannon-entropy Busemann function to define a norm. The source marks the conjecture as resolved through the cited work of Ball, Nayar and Tkocz.
