Entropies based on fractional calculus

Abstract

We propose entropy functions based on fractional calculus. We show that this new entropy has the same properties than the Shannon entropy except additivity, therefore making this entropy non-extensive. We show that this entropy function satisfies the Lesche and thermodynamic stability criteria.
