Abstract
Among the countless papers written by Ronald R. Yager, those on Entropies and measures of information are considered, keeping in mind the notion of view of a set, in order to point out a similarity between the quantities introduced in various frameworks to evaluate a kind of entropy. We define the concept of entropy measure and we show that its main characteristic is a form of monotonicity, satisfied by quantities scrutinised by R.R. Yager.

In the following, for the sake of simplicity, \(w_{x_i}\) will be denoted \(w_i\) when the meaning of i is clear.
