The BEC bound for sandwiched Rényi conditional entropy
The BEC bound for sandwiched Rényi conditional entropy
Let be binary random variables with quantum side information , and let denote the product construction in which the output is . Write for the corresponding sandwiched Rényi conditional quantity, and let denote the parameter appearing in the binary erasure-channel bound. The BEC bound. For ,
For , the same statement holds with the inequality direction reversed; for , equality holds. The conjecture is intended as the Rényi-information analogue of the binary erasure-channel bound, but the supplied text does not provide a resolution for general .
