(1)  Entire   New  Section  ( i.e.  Section  5 )  is  added.  It  deals  with  approximation  of  Gibbs- Shannon  Entropy  and  the  associated  Information  theoretic  results.

Covariance  matrix  of   two  random  variables  which  assume  same  values  is   proved  to  be Laplacian.

The  leading  diagonal  sums  of  variance  Laplacian   matrix  are  proved  to  be  the  autocorrelation  coefficients  of  PMF  vector

Eigenvalues  of  Variance  Laplacian  matrix  are   bounded  in  a  tighter  manner

Keyphrases: Eigenvectors, Laplacian matrix, eigenvalues, quadratic form, variance
