Order-\(\alpha\) weighted information energy (Q1094386)

In this work an expression is given for the amount of information supplied by a probabilistic experiment whose elementary events are characterized by both their probabilities and some qualitative weights. This measure is called ``order-\(\alpha\) weighted information energy'', and it is a generalization of the weighted information energy given by Theodorescu and studied extensively by the author. Some properties and an axiomatic treatment of the measure are given.
