The function x ↦ - x * log x
#
The purpose of this file is to record basic analytic properties of the function x ↦ - x * log x
,
which is notably used in the theory of Shannon entropy.

{f : α → ℝ}
(hf : Continuous f)
:
Continuous fun (a : α) => f a * Real.log (f a)
At x=0
, (fun x ↦ x * log x)
is not differentiable
(but note that it is continuous, see continuous_mul_log
).
