We studied the Sharma-Mittal relative entropy and showed that its physical meaning is the free energy difference between the off-equilibrium and equilibrium distributions. Unfortunately, Sharma-Mittal relative entropy may acquire this…

It is argued that polydispersed systems like colloids provide a direct example where Tsallis' statistical distribution is useful for describing the heirarchical nature of the system based on particle size.

Shannon's information entropy measures of the uncertainty of an event's outcome. If learning about a system reflects a decrease in uncertainty, then a plausible intuition is that learning should be accompanied by a decrease in the entropy…

We show that the non-additivity relation of the Tsallis entropies in nonextensive statistical mechanics has a simple physical interpretation for systems with fluctuating temperature or fluctuating energy dissipation rate. We also show that…

Maximum entropy principle does not seem to distinguish between the use of Tsallis and Renyi entropies as either of them may be used to derive similar power-law distributions. In this paper, we address the question whether the Renyi entropy…
