On a simple derivation of a family of nonextensive entropies from information content
Abstract: The nonextensive entropy of Tsallis can be seen as a consequence of postulates on a self-information, i.e., the constant ratio of the first derivative of a self-information per unit probability to the curvature (second variation) of it. This constancy holds if we regard the probability dis...
