In this work, we derive information-theoretic properties for a modified Tsallis entropy, hereinafter referred to as q-entropy. We introduce the notions of joint q-entropy, conditional q-entropy, relative q-entropy, conditional mutual…

The coupled entropy is proven to correct a flaw in the derivation of the Tsallis entropy and thereby solidify the theoretical foundations for analyzing the uncertainty of complex systems. The Tsallis entropy originated from considering…

Generalizing the group structure of the Euclidean space, we construct a Riemannian metric on the deformed set \ $\mathbb{R}^n_q$ \ induced by the Tsallis entropy composition property. We show that the Tsallis entropy is a "hyperbolic…

The Sharma-Mittal entropies generalize the celebrated Shannon, R\'enyi and Tsallis entropies. We report a closed-form formula for the Sharma-Mittal entropies and relative entropies for arbitrary exponential family distributions. We…

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…

In this work we introduce a family of transformations, named \textit{divergence transformations}, interpolating between any pair of probability density functions sharing the same support. We prove the remarkable property that the whole…

The equivalence between non-extensive C. Tsallis entropy and the extensive entropy introduced by Alfr\'ed R\'enyi is discussed. The R\'enyi entropy is studied from the perspective of the geometry of the Lebesgue and generalised, exotic…

Exponential families are a particular class of statistical manifolds which are particularly important in statistical inference, and which appear very frequently in statistics. For example, the set of normal distributions, with mean {\mu}…

We study the evolution of Tsallis entropy along the heat flow and establish its concavity in arbitrary dimensions. Extending prior results that were restricted to the one-dimensional setting, we prove that the Tsallis entropy is concave in…

Numerical experiments support the interesting conjecture that statistical methods be applicable not only to fully-chaotic systems, but also at the edge of chaos by using Tsallis' generalizations of the standard exponential and entropy. In…
