We investigate the gravitational origin of the Tsallis entropy, characterized by the nonadditive index $\delta$. Utilizing Wald's formalism within the framework of $f(R)$ modified theories of gravity, we evaluate the entropy on the black…

A comparative study of one-dimensional quantum structures which allow analytic expressions for the position and momentum R\'{e}nyi $R(\alpha)$ and Tsallis $T(\alpha)$ entropies, focuses on extracting the most characteristic physical…

Shannon's entropy is one of the building blocks of information theory and an essential aspect of Machine Learning methods (e.g., Random Forests). Yet, it is only finitely defined for distributions with fast decaying tails on a countable…

The definition of weighted entropy allows for easy calculation of the entropy of the mixture of measures. In this paper we investigate the problem of equivalent definition of the general entropy function in weighted form. We show that under…

We introduce a fractional generalization of Tsallis entropy by acting with a $q$-Caputo operator on the generating family $\sum_i p_i^{\,x}$ evaluated at $x=1$. Concretely, we define $S_{q}^{\alpha}$ through the $q$-Caputo differintegral of…

Shannon entropy, a cornerstone of information theory, statistical physics and inference methods, is uniquely identified by the Shannon-Khinchin or Shore-Johnson axioms. Generalizations of Shannon entropy, motivated by the study of…

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…

Tsallis has proposed a generalisation of the standard entropy, which has since been applied to a variety of physical systems. In the canonical ensemble approach that is mostly used, average energy is given by an unnromalised, or normalised,…

Tsallis entropy is a useful one-parameter generalization of the standard von Neumann entropy in information theory. We study the variance of Tsallis entropy of bipartite quantum systems in a random pure state. The main result is an exact…

Tsallis and R\'{e}nyi entropy measures are two possible different generalizations of the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy (or Shannon's information) but are not generalizations of each others. It is however the Sharma-Mittal measure, which was…

By replacing linear averaging in Shannon entropy with Kolmogorov-Nagumo average (KN-averages) or quasilinear mean and further imposing the additivity constraint, R\'{e}nyi proposed the first formal generalization of Shannon entropy. Using…

The notion of entropy penetrates much of science. A key feature of the all-important notion of Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy is its extensivity (additivity over independent subsystems). However, there is a need for other quantities. In…

The thermodynamic stability condition (TSC) of Tsallis' entropy is revisited. As Ramshaw [Phys. Lett. A {\bf 198} (1995) 119] has already pointed out, the concavity of Tsallis' entropy with respect to the internal energy is not sufficient…

Tsallis' non-extensive entropy $S_q$ enables us to treat both a power and exponential evolutions of underlying microscopic dynamics on equal footing by adjusting the variable entropic index $q$ to proper one $q^*$. We propose an alternative…

We discuss the idea that the Tsallis-type (q-additive) entropic chain rule allows for a wider class of entropic functionals than previously thought. In particular, we point out that the ensuing entropy solutions (e.g., Tsallis entropy) can…

The nonextensive statistics based on Tsallis entropy have been so far used for the systems composed of subsystems having same $q$. The applicability of this statistics to the systems with different $q$'s is still a matter of investigation.…
