Shannon based his information theory on the notion of probability measures as it we developed by Kolmogorov. In this paper we study some fundamental problems in information theory based on expectation measures. In the theory of expectation…

A communication theory for a transmitter broadcasting to many receivers is presented. In this case energetic considerations cannot be neglected as in Shannon theory. It is shown that, when energy is assigned to the information bit,…

The Shannon entropy of a random variable $X$ has much behaviour analogous to a signed measure. Previous work has concretized this connection by defining a signed measure $\mu$ on an abstract information space $\tilde{X}$, which is taken to…
