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:
“The gates of Hell are open night and day;
Smooth the descent, and easy is the way:
But, to return, and view the cheerful skies;
In this, the task and mighty labour lies.”
—Virgil [Publius Vergilius Maro] (70–19 B.C.)
“And just as there are no words for the surface, that is,
No words to say what it really is, that it is not
Superficial but a visible core, then there is
No way out of the problem of pathos vs. experience.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
