New Class of Generalized Extensive Entropies for Studying Dynamical Systems in Highly Anisotropic Phase Space

Statistical Mechanics 2015-06-17 v1

Abstract

Starting from the geometrical interpretation of the R\'enyi entropy, we introduce further extensive generalizations and study their properties. In particular, we found the probability distribution function obtained by the MaxEnt principle with generalized entropies. We prove that for a large class of dynamical systems subject to random perturbations, including particle transport in random media, these entropies play the role of Liapunov functionals. Some physical examples, which can be treated by the generalized R\'enyi entropies are also illustrated.
