Abstract
In this paper, by axiomatic way, a form of information entropy will be presented on crisp and fuzzy setting. Information entropy is the unavailability of information about a crisp or fuzzy event. It will use measure of information defined without any probability or fuzzy measure: for this reason it is called general information .
