Abstract

We consider stationary ergodic processes indexed by or whose finite-dimensional marginals have laws which are absolutely continuous with respect to Lebesgue measure. We define an entropy theory for these continuous processes, prove an analogue of the Shannon–MacMillan–Breiman theorem and study more precisely the particular example of Gaussian processes.
