I found the inequality in wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropic_uncertainty



$$
H(phi )leq log sqrt 2pi eV(phi ),
$$

with $phi$ as "any probability density function on the real line".



Can anyone point to the proof of this statement? What about discrete case?

    The proof is standard and available in wikipedia. In the discrete case, the entropy is upper bounded by $log M$, where $M$ is the number of possible values of the random variable.
