Information Theory based on Non-additive Information Content
Abstract
We generalize the Shannon's information theory in a nonadditive way by focusing on the source coding theorem. The nonadditive information content we adopted is consistent with the concept of the form invariance structure of the nonextensive entropy. Some general properties of the nonadditive information entropy are studied, in addition, the relation between the nonadditivity q and the codeword length is pointed out.
