Abstract
In order to find out the limiting speed of solving a specific problem using computer, this essay provides a method based on the entropy of information. The relationship between the minimum time complexity and the information entropy change is illustrated. Several examples are served as evidence of such connection. Meanwhile some notices of modeling these problems are proposed. Finally, the nature of solving problems with computer programs is disclosed to support the theory and a redefinition of the information entropy in this field is proposed. This will develop a new field of science.
