Generalization of Shannon-Khinchin Axioms to Nonextensive Systems and the Uniqueness Theorem

Mathematical Physics 2007-05-23 v2 math.MP

Abstract

The Shannon-Khinchin axioms are generalized to nonextensive systems and the uniqueness theorem for the nonextensive entropy is proved rigorously. In the present axioms, Shannon additivity is used as additivity in contrast to pseudoadditivity in Abe's axioms. The results reveal that Tsallis entropy is the simplest among all nonextensive entropies which can be obtained from the generalized Shannon-Khinchin axioms.
