... The increasing monotony of the function S(U)|V implies the positiveness of 1/T=S/U|V. Furthermore, energy itself has to be also a monotonic increasing function of temperature at constant volume, U/T|V>0 because otherwise the system would be thermally unstable (energy would flow from colder to ho ...

Entropy in thermodynamics and information theory
There are close parallels between the mathematical expressions for the thermodynamic entropy, usually denoted by S, of a physical system in the statistical thermodynamics established by Ludwig Boltzmann and J. Willard Gibbs in the 1870s, and the information-theoretic entropy, usually expressed as H, of Claude Shannon and Ralph Hartley developed in the 1940s. Shannon, although not initially aware of this similarity, commented on it upon publicizing information theory in A Mathematical Theory of Communication.This article explores what links there are between the two concepts, and how far they can be regarded as connected.
