English abstract:
Let (X,Y) be a doubly symmetric binary source. For n i.i.d. copies (Xn,Yn) of (X,Y) we show that max[I(f(Xn); g(Yn))]= I(X,Y), where the maximum is over all Boolean functions f, g: {0, 1}n → {0, 1}. This positively resolves a conjecture published by Kumar and Courtade in 2013.

Keywords:
Boolean functions, Mutual Information, Fourier transforms, Binary sequences, Binary codes
