May 27, 2020 at 10:47 comment added gab I'm not sure I understand. Could you answer adding some examples/mathematical proof, please?
May 26, 2020 at 15:52 comment added whuber For starters, the very meaning and mathematical definition of mutual information varies with the distribution of $\mathbf x:$ it has one meaning for discrete distributions and another for continuous ones. It's possible in the discrete case for the mutual information to be finite but not in the continuous case, because the distribution of the constant is singular relative to any continuous distribution.

May 26, 2020 at 12:53 comment added whuber It depends on the probability distribution and on the direction in which you are taking the mutual information. There's nothing special about being a "tensor" here: you might as well ask the question for a general probability space.
