Abstract

Section 1 of this paper is devoted to real numbers, called concentrations, which are associated with probability measures (p.m.'s), and which are used in handling convergence problems.

In Section 2 it is shown that, there exist information-theoretical concepts, a special case of which leads, at least formally, to a concentration (cn.).
