Let Xi, Yi be integers, i = 1, 2, ..., n, and 0 <= Xi <= Yi, 0 < Yi; Let X1 + X2 + ... Xn = SX, Y1 + Y2 + ... + Yn = SY; Let Pi = Xi / Yi Then What is the maximum value of P1 * log(1 / P1) + P2 * log(1 / P2) + ... + Pn * log(1 / Pn). Note: I've tested with some data, the maximum value is not n * (SX / SY) * log(SY / SX). Thanks a lot.
