Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2018
Extract
In classical information theory, the amount of information provided by an experiment is measured by a function of the probability distribution of the outcomes of the experiment. In this paper, information measures are functions of sequences of elements of a monoid (S, ∘) with identity e. It is assumed that the measures {μn: Sn → ℝ} of information are branching.
