摘要: A functional defined on the class of generalized characteristic functions (fuzzy sets), called “entropy”, is introduced using no probabilistic concepts in order to obtain a global measure of the indefiniteness connected with the situations described by fuzzy sets. This “entropy” may be regarded as a measure of a quantity of information which is not necessarily related to random experiments. Some mathematical properties of this functional are analyzed and some considerations on its applicability to pattern analysis are made.
