In this paper we remark that Shannon entropy can be expressed as a function of the self-information (i.e. the logarithm) and the inverse of the Lambert $W$ function. It means that we consider that Shannon entropy has the trace form: $-k…

The uncertainty relation based on the Shannon entropies of the probability densities in position and momentum spaces is improved for quantum systems in arbitrary $D$-dimensional spherically symmetric potentials. To find it, we have used the…

The question of whether the Tsallis entropy is Lesche-stable is revisited. It is argued that when physical averages are computed with the escort probabilities, the correct application of the concept of Lesche-stability requires use of the…

We show that there exists a natural way to define a condition of generalized thermal equilibrium between systems governed by Tsallis thermostatistics, under the hypotheses that i) the coupling between the systems is weak, ii) the structure…

The aim of the present paper is to present a careful and accessible discussion of the formal aspects of Boltzmann-Gibbs and Tsallis entropies. We begin with a brief overview of Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy, highlighting its main properties and…

We define an entropy based on a chosen governing probability distribution. If a certain kind of measurements follow such a distribution it also gives us a suitable scale to study it with. This scale will appear as a link function that is…

We propose a generalisation of Gibbs' statistical mechanics into the domain of non-negligible phase space correlations. Derived are the probability distribution and entropy as a generalised ensemble average, replacing…

The entanglement properties of random quantum states or dynamics are important to the study of a broad spectrum of disciplines of physics, ranging from quantum information to high energy and many-body physics. This work investigates the…

One of the most useful tools for distinguishing between chaotic and stochastic time series is the so-called complexity-entropy causality plane. This diagram involves two complexity measures: the Shannon entropy and the statistical…

In this work, we investigate the reliability of information-theoretic measures based on the electron-density and shape-function, specifically Shannon and R\'enyi entropies, as descriptors of electronic correlation. By establishing a…

We explore the modification of the entropic formulation of uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics which measures the incompatibility of measurements in terms of Shannon entropy. The deformation in question is the type so called…

We obtain uncertainty and certainty relations of state-independent form for the three Pauli observables with use of the R\'enyi entropies of order $\alpha\in(0;1]$. It is shown that these entropic bounds are tight in the sense that they are…

We compute R\'enyi entropies for the statistics of a noisy simultaneous observation of two complementary observables in two-dimensional quantum systems. The relative amount of uncertainty between two states depends on the uncertainty…

In the estimation theory context, we generalize the notion of Shannon's entropy power to the R\'{e}nyi-entropy setting. This not only allows to find new estimation inequalities, such as the R\'{e}nyi-entropy based De Bruijn identity,…

An axiomatic foundation regarding the entropy for complex systems is established. Missing from decades of research was the requirement that entropy must measure the uncertainty at the informational scale of the maximizing distribution,…

The entropy of Boltzmann-Gibbs, as proved by Shannon and Khinchin, is based on four axioms, where the fourth one concerns additivity. The group theoretic entropies make use of formal group theory to replace this axiom with a more general…

It is shown that the standard expression for the information entropy, originally due to Shannon, is only valid for a particular set of states. For the general case of statistical mechanics, one needs to include an additional term in the…
