Providing a unified theory of the measures of entropy, this volume covers basic material on the Shannon and Renyi entropies and describes novel techniques for the systematic discovery of all possible entropy measures.

A unified theory of the measures of entropy is presented in this research monograph. After covering basic materials on the Shannon and Renyi entropies, the monograph focuses on non- additive measures of entropy. Novel techniques for the systematic discovery of all possible entropy measures are also described. Characterizations of the non-additive entropies are given by the method of functional equations while properties of all entropies are studied in detail.
