Abstract

The paper provides an axiomatic setup for an entropy function as a measure of diversity. A general definition of cross entropy is given and its use in solving a variety of stochastic and nonstochastic optimization problems is mentioned. A method of deriving a cross entropy function associated with a given entropy function is given. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
