Talk:Nonextensive entropy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I am wondering if we should simply redirect to Tsallis entropy? Any opinions?--Smcgrother 02:19, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

The redirect might be a good idea. Do you want to go ahead with the merge? --HappyCamper 16:24, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, maybe I should mention why I did not put the content in Tsallis entropy here...there are other definitions of nonextensive entropy in the literature, although by far, most people equate "nonextensive entropy" with "Tsallis entropy". So, for this reason, the merge is probably a good thing to do. --HappyCamper 16:29, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Tsallis' entropy is a particular non-extensive form that is not shown to be unique, and is not based on first principles. So it should be clearly stated that it is a particular formulation that may be not suited to all possible physical systems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.76.200.234 (talk) 22:56, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
