Folklore conjecture on the reverse entropy power inequality for i.i.d. log-concave random vectors

About 1 year old · traced to

Let XX and YY be independent and identically distributed log-concave random vectors taking values in Rd\mathbb{R}^d, and let hh denote differential entropy. Folklore conjecture. The entropy increment h(X+Y)−h(X)h(X+Y)-h(X) is maximized when XX and YY have exponential distributions. This conjecture seeks the sharp reverse entropy power inequality in the i.i.d. log-concave setting, where no linear volume-preserving repositioning is needed. Its status is not specified in the source.
