Tsallis Entropy, Escort Probability and the Incomplete Information Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Non-extensive statistical mechanics appears as a powerful way to describe complex systems. Tsallis entropy, the main core of this theory has been remained as an unproven assumption. Many people have tried to derive the Tsallis entropy axiomatically. Here we follow the work of Wang (EPJB, 2002) and use the incomplete information theory to retrieve the Tsallis entropy. We change the incomplete information axioms to consider the escort probability and obtain a correct form of Tsallis entropy in comparison with Wang’s work.

The purpose of this short paper dedicated to the 60th anniversary of Prof.Constantin Tsallis is to show how the use of mathematical tools and physical concepts introduced by Burr, L˙ evy and Tsallis open a new line of analysis of the old problem of non-Debye decay and universality of relaxation. We also show how a finite characteristic time scale can be expressed in terms of a q-expectation usi...
متن کاملProjective Power Entropy and Maximum Tsallis Entropy Distributions
We discuss a one-parameter family of generalized cross entropy between two distributions with the power index, called the projective power entropy. The cross entropy is essentially reduced to the Tsallis entropy if two distributions are taken to be equal. Statistical and probabilistic properties associated with the projective power entropy are extensively investigated including a characterizati...
متن کاملQualms concerning Tsallis’ Use of the Maximum Entropy Formalism
Tsallis’ ‘statistical thermodynamic’ formulation of the nonadditive entropy of degree-α is neither correct nor self-consistent. It is well known that the maximum entropy formalism [1], the minimum discrimination information [2], and Gauss’ principle [3, 4] all lead to the same results when a certain condition on the prior probability distribution is imposed [5]. All these methods lead to the sa...
متن کاملOn the Simplification of Statistical Mechanics for Space Plasmas
Space plasmas are frequently described by kappa distributions. Non-extensive statistical mechanics involves the maximization of the Tsallis entropic form under the constraints of canonical ensemble, considering also a dyadic formalism between the ordinary and escort probability distributions. This paper addresses the statistical origin of kappa distributions, and shows that they can be connecte...
متن کاملOn escort distributions, q-gaussians and Fisher information
Escort distributions are a simple one parameter deformation of an original distribution p. In Tsallis extended thermostatistics, the escort-averages, defined with respect to an escort distribution, have revealed useful in order to obtain analytical results and variational equations, with in particular the equilibrium distributions obtained as maxima of Rényi-Tsallis entropy subject to constrain...
