Logical entropy on effect algebras with the Riesz decomposition property

摘要

In this study, the notion of logical entropy is generalized for the case when the considered probability space is an effect algebra with the Riesz decomposition property. We define the logical entropy and conditional logical entropy of finite partitions in an effect algebra with the Riesz decomposition property and prove the basic properties of these measures. Furthermore, we introduce the concepts of logical cross entropy and logical divergence and discuss their desirable properties.
