Entropic Vector - Open Problem

Open Problem

Given a vector, is it possible to say if there exists random variables such that their joint entropies are given by ? It turns out that for the problem has been solved. But for, it still remains unsolved. Defining the set of all such vectors that can be constructed from a set of random variables as, we see that a complete characterization of this space remains an unsolved mystery.
