On a Characterization of Directed Divergence

Shannon's entropy was characterized by many authors by assuming different sets of postulates. One other measure associated with Shannon's entropy is directed divergence or information gain. In this paper, a characterization theorem for the measure directed divergence is given by assuming intuitively reasonable postulates and with the help of functional equations.
