Is the Voronoi Entropy a True Entropy? Comments on “Entropy, Shannon’s Measure of Information and Boltzmann’s H-Theorem”, Entropy 2017, 19, 48

The goal of this comment note is to express our considerations about the recent paper by A. Ben Naim (Entropy 2017, 19, 48). We strongly support the distinguishing between the Shannon measure of information and the thermodynamic entropy, suggested in the paper. We demonstrate that the Voronoi entrop...
