Many partially-successful attempts have been made to find the most natural discrete-variable version of Shannon's entropy power inequality (EPI). We develop an axiomatic framework from which we deduce the natural form of a discrete-variable…

We consider the problem of finite sample corrections for entropy estimation. New estimates of the Shannon entropy are proposed and their systematic error (the bias) is computed analytically. We find that our results cover correction…

We propose a new way of defining entropy of a system, which gives a general form which may be nonextensive as Tsallis entropy, but is linearly dependent on component entropies, like Renyi entropy, which is extensive. This entropy has a…

Many axiomatic definitions of entropy, such as the R\'enyi entropy, of a random variable are closely related to the $\ell_{\alpha}$-norm of its probability distribution. This study considers probability distributions on finite sets, and…

Recently, in [P. Jizba and J. Korbel, Physica A 444, 2016, 808-827], four generalized Shannon-Khinchin [GSK] axioms have been proposed and a generalized entropy which uniquely satisfies the GSK axioms has been derived. In this comment, we…

By using the Renyi entropy, and following the same scheme that in the Fisher-Renyi entropy product case, a generalized statistical complexity is defined. Several properties of it, including inequalities and lower and upper bounds are…
