The application of the Shannon entropy to study the relationship between information and structures has yielded insights into molecular and material systems. However, the difficulty in directly observing and manipulating atoms and molecules…

We define the class of multivariate group entropies as a novel set of information - theoretical measures, which extends significantly the family of group entropies. We propose new examples related to the "super-exponential" universality…

Whereas Shannon entropy is related to the growth rate of multinomial coefficients, we show that the quadratic entropy (Tsallis 2-entropy) is connected to their $q$-deformation; when $q$ is a prime power, these $q$-multinomial coefficients…
