Phys. Rev. E 63, 046105 (2001) [7 pages]Information theory based on nonadditive information contentReceived 6 October 2000; published 23 March 2001 We generalize 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. © 2001 The American Physical Society URL:
