Shearer's inequality

Shearer's inequality or also Shearer's lemma, in mathematics, is an inequality in information theory relating the entropy of a set of variables to the entropies of a collection of subsets. It is named for mathematician . Concretely, it states that if X1, ..., Xd are random variables and S1, ..., Sn are subsets of {1, 2, ..., d} such that every integer between 1 and d lies in at least r of these subsets, then where is entropy and is the Cartesian product of random variables with indices j in .

Topics in Combinatorics lecture 11.1 --- Subadditivity of entropy and Shearer's lemma

A useful rule that is satisfied by entropy is that if X_1,...,X_n are random variables, then H[X_1,...,X_n] is at most H[X_1]+...+H[X_n]. Shearer's lemma is a generalization of this, where one compares H[X_1,...,X_n] by a suitable weighted average of joint entropies of the form H[X_i : i i

Topics in Combinatorics lecture 11.6 --- Two applications of Shearer's lemma

In the previous video I stated and proved Shearer's entropy lemma. Here I give two applications. The first provides an upper bound for the number of triangles a graph with m edges can have. The second is an upper bound for the size of a family of graphs with vertex set {1,2,...,n} if the i
