    Elements for a new information theory based on fractional calculus via modified Riemann-Liouville derivative (English)
    0 references
    This paper consists of a collection of some basic definitions and ideas on information theory using the approach of fractional calculus and Riemann-Liouville derivatives. In particular, by studying the functional equation \(f^{\beta}(xy)\geq f^{\beta}(x) +f^{\beta}(y), \beta >1,\) the author derived a family of solutions which are exactly the inverse of the Mittag-Leffler function. The results obtained are used to describe a new family of generalized informational entropies via fractional calculus.
