Abstract
The paper deals with the imprtance of the Kullback descrimination information in the statistical characterization of negentropy of non-equilibrium state and the irreversibility of a classical dynamical system. The theory based on the Kullback discrimination information as the H-function gives new insight into the interrelation between the concepts of coarse-graining and the principle of sufficiency leading to important statistical characterization of thermal equilibrium of a closed system. © 1983 Springer-Verlag.
