Abstract
Several years ago, it has been discussed that non-logarithmic entropies such as the Tsallis q-entropy cannot be applied to systems with continuous variables. Now, in their recent paper [Phys. Rev. E 97, 012104 (2018)], Oikonomou and Bagci have modified the form of the q-entropy for discrete variables in such a way that its continuum limit exists. Here, it is shown that this modification violates the expandability property of entropy, and their work is actually a supporting evidence for the absence of the q-entropy for systems with continuous variables.
