Finding interdependency relations between (possibly multivariate) time series provides valuable knowledge about the processes that generate the signals. Information theory sets a natural framework for non-parametric measures of several…
Entanglement is the fundamental quantum property behind the now popular field of quantum transport of information. This quantum property is incompatible with the separation of a single system into two uncorrelated subsystems. Consequently,…
We review with a tutorial scope the information theory foundations of quantum statistical physics. Only a small proportion of the variables that characterize a system at the microscopic scale can be controlled, for both practical and…
Maximum-entropy ensembles are key primitives in statistical mechanics from which thermodynamic properties can be derived. Over the decades, several approaches have been put forward in order to justify from minimal assumptions the use of…
We study the properties of Tsallis entropy and Shannon entropy from the point of view of algorithmic randomness. In algorithmic information theory, there are two equivalent ways to define the program-size complexity K(s) of a given finite…
Recently, a new measure of information called extropy has been introduced by Lad, Sanfilippo and Agr\`o as the dual version of Shannon entropy. In the literature, Tsallis introduced a measure for a discrete random variable, named Tsallis…
Tsallis' non-extensive statistical mechanics is claimed to be the correct tool to describe the behaviour of low-dimensional dissipative maps at the edge of chaos. Indeed, many different approaches confirm that, for those systems, the…
The problem of the insensitivity of the macroscopic behavior of any thermodynamical system to partitioning generates a bias between the reproducibility of its macroscopic behavior viewed as the simplest form of causality and its long-term…
In this paper, we investigate new procedures for statistical testing based on Tsallis entropy, a parametric generalization of Shannon entropy. Focusing on multivariate generalized Gaussian and $q$-Gaussian distributions, we develop…
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…
According to E.T. Jaynes and E.P. Wigner, entropy is an anthropomorphic concept in the sense that in a physical system correspond many thermodynamic systems. The physical system can be examined from many points of view each time examining…
Through the consideration of spherically symmetric gravitating systems consisting of perfect fluids with linear equation of state constrained to be in a finite volume, an account is given of the properties of entropy at conditions in which…
It exists a large class of systems for which the traditional notion of extensivity breaks down. From experimental examples we induce two general hypothesis concerning such systems. In the first the existence of an internal coordinate system…
Maximum entropy principles in nonextensive statistical physics are revisited as an application of the Tsallis relative entropy defined for non-negative matrices in the framework of matrix analysis. In addtition, some matrix trace…
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 describe a simple and accurate framework for modeling the statistical behavior of both fully developed turbulence and short-term dynamics of financial markets based on the formalism of Tsallis' generalized non-extensive thermostatistics.…
The problem of quantum state inference and the concept of quantum entanglement are studied using a non-additive measure in the form of Tsallis entropy indexed by the positive parameter q. The maximum entropy principle associated with this…
We derive explicit bounds for the average entropy characterizing measurements of a pure quantum state of size $N$ in $L$ orthogonal bases. Lower bounds lead to novel entropic uncertainty relations, while upper bounds allow us to formulate…
We study quantum correlations and complexity of simulation, characterized by quantum mutual information and entanglement entropy in operator space respectively, for thermal states in critical, non-critical and quantum chaotic spin chains. A…
The Renyi entropy with a free Renyi parameter $q$ is the most justified form of information entropy, and the Tsallis entropy may be regarded as a linear approximation to the Renyi entropy when $q\simeq 1$. When $q\to 1$, both entropies go…
