The present paper studies continuity of generalized entropy functions and relative entropies defined using the notion of a deformed logarithmic function. In particular, two distinct definitions of relative entropy are discussed. As an…

In classical thermodynamics the entropy is an extensive quantity, i.e.\ the sum of the entropies of two subsystems in equilibrium with each other is equal to the entropy of the full system consisting of the two subsystems. The extensitivity…

We present aspects of entropic functionals relatively recently introduced in Physics which are non-additive, in the conventional sense of the word, some of which have a power-law functional form. We use as an example among them, and to be…

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 study the nonextensive thermodynamics for open systems. On the basis of the maximum entropy principle, the dual power-law q-distribution functions are re-deduced by using the dual particle number definitions and assuming that the…

Many complex systems are characterized by non-Boltzmann distribution functions of their statistical variables. If one wants to -- justified or not -- hold on to the maximum entropy principle for complex statistical systems (non-Boltzmann)…

This article extends the non-extensive entropy of Tsallis and uses this entropy to model an energy producing system in an absorbing heat bath. This modified non-extensive entropy is superficially identical to the one proposed by Tsallis,…

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 consider the problem of defining free energy and other thermodynamic functions when the entropy is given as a general function of the probablity distribution, including that for non extensive forms. We find that the free energy, which is…

The Tsallis entropy is shown to be an additive entropy of degree-q that information scientists have been using for almost forty years. Neither is it a unique solution to the nonadditive functional equation from which random entropies are…

The notion of group entropy is proposed. It enables to unify and generalize many different definitions of entropy known in the literature, as those of Boltzmann-Gibbs, Tsallis, Abe and Kaniadakis. Other new entropic functionals are…

We show that Abe's general pseudoadditivity for entropy prescribed by thermal equilibrium in nonextensive systems holds not only for entropy, but also for energy. The application of this general pseudoadditivity to Tsallis entropy tells us…

We show, on purely statistical grounds and without appeal to any physical model, that a power-law $q-$entropy $S_q$, with $0<q<1$, can be {\it extensive}. More specifically, if the components $X_i$ of a vector $X \in \mathbb{R}^N$ are…

Entropy can signify different things: For instance, heat transfer in thermodynamics or a measure of information in data analysis. Many entropies have been introduced and it can be difficult to ascertain their different importance and…
