Abstract

A representation theorem for entropy functionals on the set of probability densities on the space Rn is proved. The important feature of the theorem is that the representation contains, in addition to the Boltzmann term, the continuous analog of the Hartley entropy as well as a term that, in statistical mechanics, corresponds to the chemical potential and is usually introduced ad hoc into the expression for entropy.
