  1. For \(Y\) and \(X\) take the value of 1,2, and 3, please find the capacity when the transition matrix \(T\) (\(p_{Y|X}(i|j)=T_{i,j}\)) is given by

    1. \(T = \begin{pmatrix} 1/3 & 1/3 & 1/3 \\ 1/3 & 1/3 & 1/3 \\ 1/3 & 1/3 & 1/3 \end{pmatrix}\)

    2. \(T = \begin{pmatrix} 1/2 & 1/2 & 0 \\ 0 & 1/2 & 1/2 \\ 1/2 & 0 & 1/2 \end{pmatrix}\)
