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.

Famous quotes containing the words open and/or problem:
“A breeze discovered my open book
And began to flutter the leaves to look
For a poem there used to be on Spring.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“We have heard all of our lives how, after the Civil War was over, the South went back to straighten itself out and make a living again. It was for many years a voiceless part of the government. The balance of power moved away from it—to the north and the east. The problems of the north and the east became the big problem of the country and nobody paid much attention to the economic unbalance the South had left as its only choice.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
