Recently, Gross claims that Boltzmann entropy S = k lnW is valid for any system at equilibrium, so that Tsallis entropy is useless in this case. I comment on some arguments forwarded to reach this conclusion and argue that the additive energy formalism dominating nonextensive statistics is not appropriate for the fundamental study of the theory for nonadditive systems.

Abstract The game-theoretical approach to non-extensive entropy measures of statistical physics is based on an abstract measure of complexity from which the entropy measure is derived in a natural way. A wide class of possible complexity measures is considered and a property of factorization investigated. The property reflects a separation between the system being observed and the observer. App...

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...

This paper provides a “non-extensive” information theoretic perspective on the relationship between risk and incomplete states uncertainty. Theoretically and empirically, we demonstrate that a substitution effect between the latter two may take place. Theoretically, the “non-extensive” volatility measure is concave with respect to the standard (based on normal distribution) volatility measure. ...

Flow-rate measurement in rivers under different conditions is required for river management purposes including water resources planning, pollution prevention, and flood control. This study proposed a new discharge estimation method by using a mean velocity derived from a 2D velocity distribution formula based on Tsallis entropy concept. This procedure is done based on several factors which refl...

A parametrically extended entanglement measure due to Tsallis relative entropy in quantum system is proposed and then its properties with respect to the parameter q are shown. The relation between it and the relative entropy of entanglement is studied.

We link, by means of a semiclassical approach, the fractional statistics of particles obeying the Haldane exclusion principle to the Tsallis statistics and derive a generalized quantum entropy and its associated statistics. PACS number(s): 05.20.-y, 05.30.-d, 05.40.+j, 05.60.+w The generalized non-extensive statistics and the fractional exclusion statistics have excited great interest because o...

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...

In this paper, we propose a new discriminative model named nonextensive information theoretical machine (NITM) based on nonextensive generalization of Shannon information theory. In NITM, weight parameters are treated as random variables. Tsallis divergence is used to regularize the distribution of weight parameters and maximum unnormalized Tsallis entropy distribution is used to evaluate fitti...

In this paper, we study the Wasserstein gradient flow structure of the porous medium equation. We prove that, for the case of q-Gaussians on the real line, the functional derived by the JKO-discretization scheme is asymptotically equivalent to a rate-large-deviation-like functional. The result explains why the Wasserstein metric as well as the combination of it with the Tsallis-entropy play an ...
