Foundations of Information Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Information has become the most precious resource of society. At the same time, there is no consensus on the meaning of the term " information, " and many researchers have considered problems of information definition. This results in a quantity of contradictions, misconceptions, and paradoxes related to the world of information. To remedy the situation, a new approach in information theory, which is called the general theory of information, is developed. The main achievement of the general theory of information is explication of a relevant and adequate definition of information. This theory is built on an axiomatic base as a system of two classes of principles and their consequences. The first class consists of the ontological principles, which are revealing general properties and regularities of information and its functioning. Principles from the second class explain how to measure information.

متن کاملAnalytical Approach for Thermo-electro-mechanical Vibration of Piezoelectric Nanoplates Resting on Elastic Foundations based on Nonlocal Theory
In the present work, thermo-electro vibration of the piezoelectric nanoplates resting on the elastic foundations using nonlocal elasticity theory are considered. In-plane and transverse displacements of the nanoplate have been approximated by six different modified shear deformation plate theories considering transverse shear deformation effects and rotary inertia. Moreover, two new distributio...
متن کاملBending of Shear Deformable Plates Resting on Winkler Foundations According to Trigonometric Plate Theory
A trigonometric plate theory is assessed for the static bending analysis of plates resting on Winkler elastic foundation. The theory considers the effects of transverse shear and normal strains. The theory accounts for realistic variation of the transverse shear stress through the thickness and satisfies the traction free conditions at the top and bottom surfaces of the plate without using shea...
