Conjecture on convexity and concavity of the conditional Rényi information-combining bound
Conjecture on convexity and concavity of the conditional Rényi information-combining bound
Let denote the binary conditional Rényi-entropy function and let denote binary convolution. There exists a value such that
is convex for and concave for . This conjecture is based on numerical evidence following counterexamples to convexity and concavity in an intermediate range; the precise threshold below remains open.
