Abstract
The proof of information inequalities and identities under linear constraints on the information measures is an important problem in information theory. For this purpose, ITIP and other variant algorithms have been developed and implemented, which are all based on solving a linear program (LP). Building on our recent work (Guo et al., 2023), we developed in this paper an enhanced approach for solving this problem. Experimental results show that our new approach improves the time complexity by over 500 times compared with Guo et al. (2023) for the problem studied by Tian (2014).
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Transactions on Information Theory is a journal that publishes theoretical and experimental papers concerned with the transmission, processing, and utilization of information. The boundaries of acceptable subject matter are intentionally not sharply delimited. Rather, it is hoped that as the focus of research activity changes, a flexible policy will permit this Transactions to follow suit. Current appropriate topics are best reflected by recent Tables of Contents; they are summarized in the titles of editorial areas that appear on the inside front cover.
