-Our analysis will focus on the case of a \emph{homotropic} prior, in which the prior covariance is the identity matrix, \emph{i.e.}, $R=I_d\in \reals^{d\times d}.$ Intuitively, this corresponds to the simplest prior, in which no direction of $\reals^d$ is a priori favored; equivalently, it also corresponds to the case where ridge regression estimation \eqref{ridge} performed by $\E$ has a penalty term $\norm{\beta}_2^2$. In Section 5, we will address other $R$'s.

  %Note that \eqref{dcrit} is a submodular set function, \emph{i.e.}, 
 %$V(S)+V(T)\geq V(S\cup T)+V(S\cap T)$ for all $S,T\subseteq \mathcal{N}$; it is also monotone, \emph{i.e.}, $V(S)\leq V(T)$ for all $S\subset T$.
