This is an analysis of the additivity of the entropy of thermodynamical systems with finite heat baths. It is presented an expression for the physical entropy of weakly interacting ergodic systems, and it is shown that it is valid for both…
We axiomatically characterize the Tsallis entropy of a finite quantum system. In addition, we derive a continuity property of Tsallis entropy. This gives a generalization of the Fannes inequality.
The non-extensive canonical ensemble theory is reconsidered with the method of Lagrange multipliers by maximizing Tsallis entropy, with the constraint that the normalized term of Tsallis' $q-$average of physical quantities, the sum $\sum…
The chain rule for the Shannon and von Neumann entropy, which relates the total entropy of a system to the entropies of its parts, is of central importance to information theory. Here we consider the chain rule for the more general smooth…
In this work, we derive information-theoretic properties for a modified Tsallis entropy, hereinafter referred to as q-entropy. We introduce the notions of joint q-entropy, conditional q-entropy, relative q-entropy, conditional mutual…
Entropy and relative or cross entropy measures are two very fundamental concepts in information theory and are also widely used for statistical inference across disciplines. The related optimization problems, in particular the maximization…
It is by now well known that the Boltzmann-Gibbs-von Neumann-Shannon logarithmic entropic functional ($S_{BG}$) is inadequate for wide classes of strongly correlated systems: see for instance the 2001 Brukner and Zeilinger's {\it Conceptual…
We generalize the Clausius (in)equality to overdamped mesoscopic and macroscopic diffusions in the presence of nonconservative forces. In contrast to previous frameworks, we use a decomposition scheme for heat which is based on an exact…
The Shannon entropy, one of the cornerstones of information theory, is widely used in physics, particularly in statistical mechanics. Yet its characterization and connection to physics remain vague, leaving ample room for misconceptions and…
In order to apply thermodynamics to systems in which entropy is not extensive, it has become customary to define generalized entropies. While this approach has been effective, it is not the only possible approach. We suggest that some…
Within the Tsallis thermodynamics' framework, and using scaling properties of the entropy, we derive a generalization of the Gibbs-Duhem equation. The analysis suggests a transformation of variables that allows standard thermodynamics to be…
A nonadditive generalization of Klimontovich's S-theorem [G. B. Bagci, Int.J. Mod. Phys. B 22, 3381 (2008)] has recently been obtained by employing Tsallis entropy. This general version allows one to study physical systems whose stationary…
Baez, Fritz, and Leinster derived a method for characterizing Shannon entropy in classical systems. In this method, they considered a functor from a certain category to the monoid of non-negative real numbers with addition as a map from…
Tsallis relative operator entropy was defined as a parametric extension of relative operator entropy and the generalized Shannon inequalities were shown in the previous paper. After the review of some fundamental properties of Tsallis…
In this paper we study Chaplygin's Reducibility Theorem and extend its applicability to nonholonomic systems with symmetry described by the Hamilton-Poincare-d'Alembert equations in arbitrary degrees of freedom. As special cases we extract…
The factorization problem of $q$-exponential distribution within nonextensive statistical mechanics is discussed on the basis of Abe's general pseudoadditivity for equilibrium systems. it is argued that the factorization of compound…
The entropy of Boltzmann-Gibbs, as proved by Shannon and Khinchin, is based on four axioms, where the fourth one concerns additivity. The group theoretic entropies make use of formal group theory to replace this axiom with a more general…
Fundamental properties for the Tsallis relative entropy in both classical and quantum systems are studied. As one of our main results, we give the parametric extension of the trace inequality between the quantum relative entropy and the…
Gauss' law of error is generalized in Tsallis statistics such as multifractal systems, in which Tsallis entropy plays an essential role instead of Shannon entropy. For the generalization, we apply the new multiplication operation determined…
In this simple article, with possible applications in theoretical and applied physics, we suggest an original way to derive the expression of Shannon's entropy from a purely variational approach,using constraints. Based on the work of Edwin…
