Entropy and enumeration of Boolean functions

Shannon's notion of the entropy of a random variable is used to give simplified proofs of asymptotic formulas for the logarithms of the numbers of monotone Boolean functions and Horn (1951) functions, and for equivalent results concerning families of sets and closure operations.

This study demonstrates how Shannon's notion of the entropy of a discrete random variable can be used to solve some problems of combinatorial enumeration. In particular, simplified proofs are derived for asymptotic formulas for the logarithms of the numbers of monotone Boolean functions and Horn functions, and for equivalent results concerning families of sets and closure operations.
