Abstract
Forte's characterization of the entropy of a grand canonical ensemble in statistical mechanics has a natural interpretation in information theory. This entropy is also shown to be finite under the naturalassumption that the average message length be finite. In the proof, an analogue of the well-known inequality of Shannon is obtained.File in questo prodotto:
