Abstract
The concept of entropy and information gain of BE-algebras in scientific disciplines such as information theory, data science, supply chain and machine learning assists us to calculate the uncertanity of the scientific processes of phenomena. In this respect the notion of filter entropy for a transitive BE-algebra is introduced and its properties are investigated. The notion of a dynamical system on a transitive BE-algebra is introduced. The concept of the entropy for a transitive BE-algebra dynamical system is developed and, its characteristics are considered. The notion of equivalent transitive BE-algebra dynamical systems is defined, and it is proved the fact that two equivalent BE-algebra dynamical systems have the same entropy. Theorems to help calculate the entropy are given. Specifically, a new version of Kolmogorov– Sinai Theorem has been proved. The study introduces the concept of information gain of a transitive BE-algebra with respect to its filters and investigates its properties. This study proposes the use of filter entropy to approximate the level of risk introduced by a BE-algebra dynamical system. This aim is reached by defining the information gain with respect to the filters of a BE-algebra. This methodology is well developed for use in engineering, especially in industrial networks. This paper proposes a novel approach to assess the quantity of uncertainty, and the impact of information gain of a BE-algebra dynamical system.
Introduction
Entropy is a useful tool in machine learning to know various concepts such as feature selection, building decision trees, and fitting classification models, etc. Entropy can be cosidered as an assessment tool of supply chain information [1–4]. The term entropy was first used in 1865 by the German physicist, Rudolf Clausius, to denote the thermodynamic function that he introduced in 1854.
In 1948, Glude Shanon,the American mathematician, presented the notion of entropy in information theory. In 1958, the Russian mathematician,Kolmogorov, introduced the concept of measure - theoretic entropy in ergodic theory. Gradually, the notion of entropy was used for the algebraic structures. In 1975, Weiss considered the definition of entropy for endomorphisms of abelian groups [14].
In 1979, Peters gave a different definition of entropy for automorphisms of a discrete abelian group ‘G’. After proving the basic properties, similar to those proved by Weiss, he generalized Weiss’s main result to countable abelian groups, relating the entropy of an automorphism of ‘G’ to the measure-theoretic Kolmogorov– Sinai entropy of the adjoint automorphism of the dual of ‘G’.
In 2010, Dikranjan and Giordano Bruno [12, 13] extended the definition of the algebraic entropy, ‘h’, given by Peters for automorphisms to endomorphism of arbitrary abelian groups, and considered its attributes. Specifically, they proved ‘Bridge Theorem’ that connected the algebraic and the topological entropies.
Di Nola et al. [15] discussed the entropy of dynamical systems on effect algebras, and Rie
On the other hand, In 2007, Kim and Kim [22] introduced the notion of BE-algebras which was a generalization of the concept of BCK-algebras. In 2008, Ahn and So [5] introduced the notion of ideals in BE-algebras, and then they stated and proved several characterizations on ideals. In 2009 Walendziak [30] introduced the concept of commutative BE-algebras. The theory of filters of BE-algebras was introduced by B.L. Meng [24], and In 2009 Ahn and So [6] investigated some properties of filters of BE-algebras.
Subsequently, the algebraic entropy of the special linear character automorphisms of free groups was discussed by Brown [11]. Two years later, the notion of the algebraic entropy for the endomorphisms of modules were investigated by L.Salce [28].
In 2010, M.Ebrahimi and N.Mohammadi [18] investigated the entropy of countable partitions of F-structures using the generators of an m-preserving transformation of a discrete dynamical system. In 2015, Mehrpooya, Ebrahimi and Davvaz [23] introduced the entropy of semi-independent hyper MV-algebra dynamical systems and investigated its fundamental properties. Ebrahimi and Izadara [17] presented the notion of the entropy of dynamical systems on BCI-algebras. They introduced the concept of ideal entropy of BCI-algebras and investigated its application in the bilinear codes.
In 2022 Ghasemi and Jamalzadeh [19] introduced the notion of hypernormed entropy on a topological hypernormed hypergroup.
Mutual information is a quantity that measures relationship between two random variables that are sampled simultaneously i.e, it measures how much information is communicated, in one random variable about another. For random variables X, Y whose joint distribution is P (X, Y), the Mutual information of two random variables X, Y, is defined by:
On the other hand information gain calculate the reduction in entropy. It is used in the construction of decision trees from a training by evaluating the information gain for each variables, and the variable maximizes the information gain suggests a minimum entropy group or groups of samples. In the other words, the information gain can be calculated as:
Hence there is a similar way to calculate the mutual information and information gain i.e one can say that they are equivalent. I (X, Y) = H (X) - H (X|Y) and IG (s, a) = H (s) - H (s|a).
In this paper, the notion of the entropy on BE-algebras is introduced, and its essential characteristics are studied. In this respect, in section 3, the concept of a BE-algebra dynamical system is introduced and the notion of the entropy of a BE-algebra dynamical system is defined. The basic properties are studied and their isomorphism problem is presented. In this section, the concept of generator of a BE-algebra dynamical system is defined and theorems that help us to calculate the entropy are given.
In particular, a new version of Kolmogorov-Sinai Theorem is established and proved. In the last of this section the information gain of a transitive BE-algebra is introduced and its properties are investigated.

Illustration of the idea.
In this section, the notion of transitive BE-algebras and some of their important properties are illustrated. The concept of congruence relation on a transitive BE-algebra is given, and the equivalence classes, as its partitions, are introduced.
An algebra (X, ∗ , 1) of type (2, 0) is said to be a BE-algebra [25], if it satisfies the following conditions: x * x = 1, x * 1 =1, 1 * x = x, x * (y * z) = y * (x * z), for all x, y, z ∈ X.
A BE-algebra (X,∗,1) is said to be self-distributive if for all x, y, z ∈ X :
A non-empty subset Y of a BE-algebra X containing 1, is called a subalgebra of X if x * y ∈ Y, whenever x, y ∈ Y. A BE-algebra X, is said to be commutative if (x * y) * y = (y * x) * x, for all x, y ∈ X.
The pair (X, ≤) is called an ordered BE-algebra.
A BE-algebra (X, * , 1) is said to be transitive if y * z ≤ (x * y) * (x * z), for all x, y, z ∈ X.
Every BE-algebra is a partially ordered BE-algebra. Every commutative BE-algebra is transitive. Every self distributive BE-algebra is transitive.
Let X be a BE-algebra, a nonempty subset F of X is said to be a filter of X [25], if it satisfies the following conditions: 1 ∈ F, x ∈ F and x * y ∈ F imply that y ∈ F.
It is obvious that {1} is a filter of a BE-algebra X, say trivial filter. The set of all filters of a BE-algebra X is denoted by
A filter F of a BE-algebra (X, * , 1) is said to be a closed filter if it is closed under the multiplication * on X.
Let (X, * , 1) be a BE-algebra. A binary relation θ on X is called a congruence [25], if it satisfies the following properties: (x, x) ∈ θ, (x, y) ∈ θ then (y, x) ∈ θ, (x, y) ∈ θ and (y, z) ∈ θ then (x, z) ∈ θ, θ is compatible with the operation *. That is, if (x, y) ∈ θ and (z, w) ∈ θ then (x * z, y * w) ∈ θ, for all x, y, z, w ∈ X. It is easy to see that an equivalence relation θ is a congruence relation on X if and only if (a, b) ∈ θ implies (c * a, c * b) ∈ θ as well as (a * c, b * c) ∈ θ, for all a, b, c ∈ X.
For any congruence θ on X and for any x ∈ X, the corresponding congruence class [x] θ = θ
x
is defined as:
Let (X, * , 1) be a BE-algebra and θ be a congruence relation on X. The collection of all congruence classes of X is denoted by
θ is a congruence on X, [1] θ = ⋂ α∈Δ [1] θα.
Let (X, * , 1) be a BE-algebra and F be a filter of X. Define a binary operation θ F on X by:
The congruence θ
F
is called the filter congruence on X by F. For the congruence θ
F
on X by F one can usually denote x ≃ y (F) for x ≃ y (θ
F
) and F
x
for [x] θ
F
and
If F is a filter of X, then g (F) is a filter of Y, If F is a closed filter of X, then g (F) is a closed filter of Y.
(2) Let y1, y2 ∈ F′, since g is onto, there are x1, x2 ∈ F such that y1 = g (x1) , y2 = g (x2) and y1 * y2 = g (x1) * g (x2) = g (x1 * x2) ∈ g (F) = F′ . This completes the proof. □
If F is a subalgebra of X, then g (F) is a subalgebra of Y, If F′ is a subalgebra of Y, then g-1 (F′) is a subalgebra of X.
Suppose that F is a subalgebra of X, then 1 ∈ F and g (1) = e ∈ g (F). Now if z, w ∈ g (F) then z ⊙ w = g (x) ⊙ g (y) = g (x * y), for some x, y ∈ F. Since F is a subalgebra, z ⊙ w = g (x * y) ∈ g (F). The proof is similar to the previous part.

Filter entropy of BE-algebras
In this section the notion of the entropy of a BE-algebra that is called the filter entropy, is introduced. Some definitions, propositions and lemmas are given to calculate some entropies of BE-algebras. A new version of Kolmogorov-Sinai Theorem is investigated and the concept of Information gain related to filters is defined.
If F is a filter of a transitive BE-algebra (X, * , 1) the collection
It is clear that
Now in the following proposition it is shown that the join of two quotient algebras is a quotient algebra.

) * (a * b) ∈ E . Hence a * b ∈ E, in the same manner b * a ∈ E and since F ⊂ E, a * b ∈ F and b * a ∈ F . Then
If F = 〈1〉 is the filter induced by 1 ∈ X and E is an arbitrary filter of Y, then If E and F are filters of Y, then If E ∪ F is a filter of Y, then
Let X be a non-empty set and * be a binary operation on X. The pair (X, *) is said to be a semi BE-algebra if X is closed under *, x * (y * z) = y * (x * z), for all x, y, z ∈ X .
Let X be transitive BE-algebra and let
Define the binary operation ★ on β (X) by:
(β (X) , ★) is a semi BE-algebra. The function m : β (X) ⟶ [0, 1] is called a state if
T (X) = X and T ∣
X
is a BE-algebra homomorphism, T is a homomorphism of semi BE-algebras, i.e., m (T-1E

(X, * , 1) is a transitive BE-algebra. Now let E = {1, a, c} and F = {1, a, b}. Then
Using the following example, it is shown that the converse of the Proposition 3.18 is not generally true.
The converse of Proposition 3.19 is not true. Example 8 is enough proof.
Note that the converse of Lemma 3.20 is not generally true.

Note that when φ : E ⟶ F is a BE-algebra isomorphism then φ : β (E) ⟶ β (F) is a semi BE-algebra isomorphism.
Proof of the claim:
Now since dynamical systems T and S are isomorphic, it follows that there exist closed filters E, F of X, Y, respectively, and a BE-algebra isomorphism φ : E ⟶ F such that T (E) ⊆ E, (SF) ⊆ F and φoT = Soφ, furthermore
Consequently, one may see h (S) ≤ h (T).
Similarly, one can show that h (T) ≤ h (S). □
The well - known Kolmogorov-Sinai Theorem on generators is the main tool used to calculate the entropy of dynamical systems. Now the entropy of BE-algebra dynamical system is concluded which is the goal in this paper.
(X, ∗ , 1) is a transitive BE-algebra.
If x ≤ y ⇒ x ∗ y = 1,
If
Conversely if if x ≤ y ⇒ x ∗ y = 1 ∈ E, y ∗ x = x ∈ E. if y < x ⇒ x ∗ y = y ∈ E, y ∗ x = 1 ∈ E.
Then
For the same way one can shows that
In this paper, the concept of a BE-algebra dynamical system was put forward using the notion of state on this structure. The entropy of a BE-algebra dynamical system was introduced and the fundamental properties were studied. It was proved that isomorphic dynamical systems on a BE-algebra have the same entropy. By some examples it was shown that some of classic theorems in ergodic theory are not satisfied for BE-algebra structures. A new version of Kolmogorov - Sinai Theorem was given. The concept of information gain related to filter entropy was defined and its properties were proved.
Limitations: Unavailablity of some research resources including books and full text papers are our limitations.
Recommendation: One can define the entropy function on a hyper BE-algebra and study its characteristics for future research. In addition, it would be helpful if one consider the entropy and information gain simultaneously for calculating the impact of supply chain information disruption.
