Abstract
An entropic formulation of uncertainty relations is obtained for the case of successive measurements. The lower bound on the overall uncertainty, that is obtained for the case of successive measurements, is shown to be larger than the recently derived Deutsch-Partovi lower bound on the overall uncertainty in the case of distinct measurements.
