In the article the $mm$-entropy (an entropy of a metric measure space) introduced by C. Shannon is evaluated for an $\alpha$-stable L\'evy process. For $\alpha<1$ the double-sided estimates of the same order are obtained for process…

The entropic region is formed by the collection of the Shannon entropies of all subvectors of finitely many jointly distributed discrete random variables. For four or more variables, the structure of the entropic region is mostly unknown.…

An "entropy increasing to the maximum" result analogous to the entropic central limit theorem (Barron 1986; Artstein et al. 2004) is obtained in the discrete setting. This involves the thinning operation and a Poisson limit. Monotonic…

In the present effort we show that $S_{\kappa}=-k_B \int d^3p (n^{1+\kappa}-n^{1-\kappa})/(2\kappa)$ is the unique existing entropy obtained by a continuous deformation of the Shannon-Boltzmann entropy $S_0=-k_B \int d^3p n \ln n$ and…
