Nath, Prem; Kaur, Man Mohan On some characterizations of the Shannon entropy using extreme symmetry and block symmetry. (English) Zbl 0511.94012 Inf. Control 53, 9-20 (1982). Summary: Two axiomatic characterizations of the Shannon entropy are given. The first one makes use of the concept of extreme symmetry where as the second one that of block symmetry, both weaker than symmetry in the strict sense and independent of each other.
