Within the Tsallis thermodynamics' framework, and using scaling properties of the entropy, we derive a generalization of the Gibbs-Duhem equation. The analysis suggests a transformation of variables that allows standard thermodynamics to be…

In multivariate analysis, uncertainty arises from two sources: the marginal distributions of the variables and their dependence structure. Quantifying the dependence structure is crucial, as it provides valuable insights into the…

We generalize the completely monotone conjecture ([CG15]) from Shannon entropy to the Tsallis entropy up for orders up to at least four. To this end, we employ the algorithm ([J\"un16, JM06a]) which employs the technique of systematic…
