TLDR
The problems studied are the negentropy principle of information, a minimax information principle of thermal equilibrium and the role of information correlation in the derivation of a functional equation characterising the statistical equilibrium of a system.Abstract:
The interrelation between some basic concepts of information, theory and thermodynamics has been studied on the basis of the statistical measures of entropy and information. The problems studied are the negentropy principle of information, a minimax information principle of thermal equilibrium and the role of information correlation in the derivation of a functional equation characterising the statistical equilibrium of a system.read more

Maxwell-Gouy potential in statistical mechanics
TL;DR: In this paper, the probabilistic-statistical justification for the equilibrium-thermodynamic Maxwell-Gouy potential is given, and the relationship between the change in the potential and the information about the structure of the system, expressed by Kul'bak's measure, is established.

The mathematical theory of communication
Claude E. Shannon,Warren Weaver +1 more
TL;DR: The Mathematical Theory of Communication (MTOC) as discussed by the authors was originally published as a paper on communication theory more than fifty years ago and has since gone through four hardcover and sixteen paperback printings.

Information Theory and Statistical Mechanics. II
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider statistical mechanics as a form of statistical inference rather than as a physical theory, and show that the usual computational rules, starting with the determination of the partition function, are an immediate consequence of the maximum-entropy principle.

The Mathematical Theory of Communication
TL;DR: The theory of communication is extended to include a number of new factors, in particular the effect of noise in the channel, and the savings possible due to the statistical structure of the original message anddue to the nature of the final destination of the information.
