Abstract
The theorem of Shannon–McMillan–Breiman states that for every generating partition on an ergodic system, the exponential decay rate of the measure of cylinder sets equals the metric entropy almost everywhere (provided the entropy is finite). In this paper we prove that the measure of cylinder sets are lognormally distributed for strongly mixing systems and infinite partitions and show that the rate of convergence is polynomial provided the fourth moment of the information function is finite. Also, unlike previous results by Ibragimov and others which only apply to finite partitions, here we do not require any regularity of the conditional entropy function. We also obtain the law of the iterated logarithm and the weak invariance principle for the information function.
