Kolmogorov argued that the concept of information exists also in problems with no underlying stochastic model (as Shannon’s information representation) for instance, the information contained in an algorithm or in the genome. He introduced a combinatorial notion of entropy and information I(x : y) conveyed by a binary string x about the unknown value of a variable y. The current paper poses the...

The paper shows performance optimization effects of steel machining by abrasive water jet (AWJ). An innovative combinative distance-based assessment method (CODAS) is implemented for the cutting parameters like pump pressure, feed rate, and flow rate over depth, cut kerf surface roughness. CODAS algorithm among those based on measuring distance between a scenario (in this case processing in ter...
