of a space with a normalized measure

A concept defined as follows. If the elements of having measure zero form in total a set of positive measure, then the entropy of is ; otherwise

where the sum is taken over all elements of of positive measure. The logarithm is usually to the base 2.


Comments

Instead of "measurable decomposition" the phrase "measurable partitionmeasurable partition" is often used, cf. [a1].
