Example of a possible interpretation of Tsallis entropy

Grzegorz Wilk, Zbigniew Wlodarczyk

Published 2007-11-21, updated 2008-04-08Version 3

We demonstrate and discuss the process of gaining information and show an example in which some specific way of gaining information about an object results in the Tsallis form of entropy rather than in the Shannon one.
