q-Calculus Framework For Entropy In Multifractal Distributions

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The connection between Tsallis entropy for a multifractal distribution and Jackson's qq-derivative is established. Based on this derivation and definition of a homogeneous function, a qq-analogue of Shannon's entropy is discussed. qq-additivity of this entropy is shown. We also define qq-analogue of Kullback relative entropy. The implications of lattice structure beneath qq-calculus are highlighted in the context of qq-entropy.
