Recall that the chain rule for entropy for two random variables is: H(X,Y) = H(X)+ H(Y|X). (a) Prove that for three random variables X, Y and Z, a conditional chain rule holds: H(X, Z|Y) = H(X|Y)+ H(Z|X,Y) (b) Starting from the chain rule for entropy, prove that for four random variables X, Y, Z and U, the following identity holds: I(X,Y; Z|U) = I(X; Z|U)+I(Y; Z|X,U)

Chain rule.
Recall that the chain rule for entropy for two random variables is: H(X,Y) = H(X)+
Η (Y | Χ).
(a) Prove that for three random variables X, Y and Z, a conditional chain rule holds:
H(X, Z|Y) = H(X|Y)+ H(Z|X,Y)
(b) Starting from the chain rule for entropy, prove that for four random variables X,
Y, Z and U, the following identity holds:
I(X,Y; Z\U) = I(X; Z|U)+I(Y; Z|X,U)
