Abstract
The concept of information functions of type β ( β > 0) is introduced and discussed. By means of these information functions the entropies of type β are defined. These entropies have a number of interesting algebraic and analytic properties similar to Shannon's entropy. The capacity of type β ( β > 1) of a discrete constant channel is defined by means of the entropy of type β . Examples are given for the computation of the capacity of type β , from which the Shannon's capacity can be derived as the limiting case β = 1.

An entropy for groups of intermediate growth

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an example of a group as a metric space that may be used as the phase space of a system whose ergodic behavior is statistically described by the recently proposed $\delta$-entropy.

Some applications of matrix inequalities in Rényi entropy

TL;DR: This paper uses matrix inequalities to prove new bounds on the entropy of type $\beta$, R{\'e}nyi entropy, and finds lower bound for R'enyi relative entropy.

Transmission of information

TL;DR: A warning device associated with arotatable body comprising means on the rotatable body for creating a magnetic field, a receiving coil on a relatively stationary member arranged such that a warning is given upon occurrence of a predetermined condition, such as pressure of a vehicle wheel deviating outside a predetermined limit.
