To this end, we examine consequences of the biggest difference between these two entropies: their composition properties. We rely on a metric formalism that establishes the \"hyperbolic\" nature of Tsallis entropy and explore some of its consequences for the underlying systems. We present some recent and some forthcoming results of our work", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-08-28T09:52:29.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "tsallis entropy", "hyperbolicity", "metric formalism", "preliminary evidence", "composition properties" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013AIPC.1558.1784K" } } }
