In this paper, we investigate two-parameter entropies and obtain some conditions for their extensivity. By using a generalized $(k,r)-product$, correlations for subsystems are related to the joint probabilities, so that the entropy remains…

Whether a system is to be considered complex or not depends on how one searches for correlations. We propose a general scheme for calculation of entropies in lattice systems that has high flexibility in how correlations are successively…
