信息熵的内涵与外延

Information Entropy Used at Connotative and Denotative Levels

通过对热力学熵与信息熵的表述，阐明了各自的内涵与二者的联系。信息熵在其它领域的应用，则表明它不仅仅限于信息论这个领域，而是有着更宽的外延。

This paper clarifies the respective connotations of thermo dynamics entropy and informarion entropy as well as their relations with each other. The fact that information entropy has been used in other fields suggests that it is not limited only in information theory. Instead, it has a broader denotation.
