The primary contribution is a finite terminating algorithm that determines membership of a candidate entropy vector in the set of binary entropy vectors Phi(N). We outline the relationship between Phi(N) and its unbounded cardinality discrete random variable counterpart (Gamma) over bar*(N) (or its normalization (Omega) over bar*(N)). We discuss connections between Phi(N) and (Omega) over bar*(N). For example, for any outer bound, say the Shannon outer bound P-N, to (Omega) over bar*(N), we provide a finite terminating algorithm to find a polytopic inner bound on (Omega) over bar*(N) that agrees on tight faces of the outer bound.
