Logical Divergence, Logical Entropy, and Logical Mutual Information in Product MV-Algebras

Entropy (Basel). 2018 Feb 16;20(2):129. doi: 10.3390/e20020129.

Abstract

In the paper we propose, using the logical entropy function, a new kind of entropy in product MV-algebras, namely the logical entropy and its conditional version. Fundamental characteristics of these quantities have been shown and subsequently, the results regarding the logical entropy have been used to define the logical mutual information of experiments in the studied case. In addition, we define the logical cross entropy and logical divergence for the examined situation and prove basic properties of the suggested quantities. To illustrate the results, we provide several numerical examples.

Keywords: logical cross entropy; logical divergence; logical entropy; logical mutual information; product MV-algebra.
