The statistical analysis of data stemming from dynamical systems, including, but not limited to, time series, routinely relies on the estimation information theoretical quantities, most notably Shannon entropy. To this purpose, possibly widespread tool is provided by so-called plug-in estimator, whose properties in terms bias and variance were investigated since first decade after publication S...

In general, Shannon zero-capacity is hard to obtain even for very simple small graphs. Lovasz constructed an upper bound in [4] for Shannon capacity which is well-characterized and relatively easy to compute. In some special cases, it is even equal to the Shannon capacity. However, it has been proven that the Lovasz bound is not always tight and counterexamples are not hard to find.
