Correlated Gaussian systems exhibiting additive power-law entropies

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-11 v1

Abstract

We show, on purely statistical grounds and without appeal to any physical model, that a power-law qq-entropy SqS_q, with 0<q<10<q<1, can be {\it extensive}. More specifically, if the components XiX_i of a vector XRNX \in \mathbb{R}^N are distributed according to a Gaussian probability distribution ff, the associated entropy Sq(X)S_q(X) exhibits the extensivity property for special types of correlations among the XiX_i. We also characterize this kind of correlation.
