Thermostatistics based on Kolmogorov–Nagumo averages: unifying framework for extensive and nonextensive generalizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that extensive thermostatistics based on Rényi entropy and Kolmogorov–Nagumo averages can be expressed in terms of Tsallis nonextensive thermostatistics. We use this correspondence to generalize thermostatistics to a large class of Kolmogorov–Nagumo means and suitably adapted definitions of entropy. As an application, we reanalyze linguistic data discussed in a paper by Montemurro. 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved. PACS: 05.20.Gg; 05.70.Ce

Generalized thermostatistics and Kolmogorov-Nagumo averages
We introduce a generalized thermostatistics based on Kolmogorov-Nagumo averages and appropriately selected information measures. The formalism includes Tsallis non-extensive thermostatistics, but also extensive thermostatistics based on Rényi entropy. The Curie-Weiss model is discussed as an example.
متن کاملEnhanced sampling in numerical path integration: an approximation for the quantum statistical density matrix based on the nonextensive thermostatistics.
Here we examine a proposed approximation for the quantum statistical density matrix motivated by the nonextensive thermostatistics of Tsallis and co-workers. The approximation involves replacing the physical potential energy with an effective one, corresponding to a generalized nonextensive statistical ensemble. We examine the convergence properties of averages calculated using the effective po...
متن کاملNon-unique way to generalize the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution
Alternative definitions are given of basic concepts of generalized thermostatistics. In particular, generalizations of Shannon’s entropy, of the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution, and of relative entropy are considered. Particular choices made in Tsallis’ nonextensive thermostatistics are questioned.
متن کاملUniqueness of Nonextensive entropy under Renyi's Recipe
By replacing linear averaging in Shannon entropy with Kolmogorov-Nagumo average (KN-averages) or quasilinear mean and further imposing the additivity constraint, Rényi proposed the first formal generalization of Shannon entropy. Using this recipe of Rényi, one can prepare only two information measures: Shannon and Rényi entropy. Indeed, using this formalism Rényi characterized these additive en...
متن کاملOn Generalized Measures of Information with Maximum and Minimum Entropy Prescriptions
Kullback-Leibler relative-entropy or KL-entropy of P with respect to R defined as ∫ X ln dP dR dP , where P and R are probability measures on a measurable space (X,M), plays a basic role in the definitions of classical information measures. It overcomes a shortcoming of Shannon entropy – discrete case definition of which cannot be extended to nondiscrete case naturally. Further, entropy and oth...
