Abstract
It is shown that Fisher information (FI) can be considered as a limiting case of a related form of Kullback information—a shift information (SI). The compatibility of the use of SI with a basic physical principle of uncertainty is demonstrated. The scope of FI based theory is extended to the nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation.Keywords
