Abstract:
A rational probability distribution on four binary random variables X,Y,Z,U is constructed which satisfies the conditional independence relations [X ⫫ Y ], [X ⫫ Z∣U], [Y ⫫ U∣Z] and [Z ⫫ U∣XY ] but whose entropy vector violates the Ingleton inequality. This settles a recent question of Studený (IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory vol. 67, no. 11) and shows that there are, up to symmetry, precisely ten inclusion-minimal sets of conditional independence assumptions on four discrete random variables which make the Ingleton inequality hold.
