| Title: | On Upper Bounding Discrete Entropy |
| Authors: | Alnakhli , Razan |

| Keywords: | Entropy
Information Theory |
| Issue Date: | 22-Dec-2011 |
| Abstract: | Two upper bounds on the entropy of a discrete random variable are studied. The
standard upper bound is derived based on the differential entropy bound for a Gaus-
sian random variable. A tighter bound is proved using the transformation formula of
the Jacobi theta function and Shannon's inequality. Numerical examples are provided
to illustrate their tightness. |
