A new definition of entropy of belief functions in the Dempster–Shafer theory

We propose a new definition of entropy of basic probability assignments (BPAs) in the Dempster–Shafer (DS) theory of belief functions, which is interpreted as a measure of total uncertainty in the BPA. Our definition is different from those proposed by Höhle, Smets, Yager, Nguyen, Dubois–Prade, Lama...
