It is shown, in particular, that for either BC the dependencies of the R\\'{e}nyi position components on the parameter $\\alpha$ are the same for all orbitals but the lowest Neumann one for which the corresponding functional $R$ is not influenced by the variation of $\\alpha$. Lower limit $\\alpha_{TH}$ of the semi infinite range of the dimensionless R\\'{e}nyi/Tsallis coefficient where {\\em momentum} entropies exist crucially depends on the {\\em position} BC and is equal to one quarter for the Dirichlet requirement and one half for the Neumann one. At $\\alpha$ approaching this critical value, the corresponding momentum functionals do diverge. The gap between the thresholds $\\alpha_{TH}$ of the two BCs causes different behavior of the R\\'{e}nyi uncertainty relations as functions of $\\alpha$. For both configurations, the lowest-energy level at $\\alpha=1/2$ does saturate either type of the entropic inequality thus confirming an earlier surmise about it. It is also conjectured that the threshold $\\alpha_{TH}$ of one half is characteristic of any 1D non-Dirichlet system. Other properties are discussed and analyzed from the mathematical and physical points of view.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-03-09T18:34:00.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "neumann one-dimensional quantum wells", "tsallis entropies", "semi infinite range", "1d non-dirichlet system", "neumann boundary conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
