The Renyi entropy with a free Renyi parameter $q$ is the most justified form of information entropy, and the Tsallis entropy may be regarded as a linear approximation to the Renyi entropy when $q\simeq 1$. When $q\to 1$, both entropies go…

The Lesche stability condition for the Shannon entropy [B. Lesche, J. Stat. Phys. 27, 419 (1982)], represents a fundamental test, for its experimental robustness, for systems obeying the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistical mechanics. Of course,…

The Renyi entropy is a generalisation of the Shannon entropy that is sensitive to the fine details of a probability distribution. We present results for the Renyi entropy of the totally asymmetric exclusion process (TASEP). We calculate…

A generalization of the entropy production rate is proposed $\Pi_q$ in non-equilibrium systems by extending the formalism of classical stochastic thermodynamics to regimes with non-Gaussian fluctuations. Through the R\'enyi entropy $S_q$ ,…

We study the distribution of the order of a random permutation of $[n]$ through the lens of R\'enyi entropy. In particular, we obtain an asymptotic for the R\'enyi $q$-entropy of the order in the full range $1 \leq q \leq \infty$. For $q >…
