Extended Shannon entropies. I. (English) Zbl 0542.94007
This paper examines functionals (called extended Shannon entropies), defined for all probability spaces equipped with a measurable metric, and coinciding with Shannon entropy for finite probability spaces endowed with the metric $$d(x,y)=1$$, $$x\neq y$$.
