In particular, two distinct definitions of relative entropy are discussed. As an application, all considered entropies are shown to satisfy Lesche's stability condition. The entropies of Tsallis' nonextensive thermostatistics are taken as examples.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2004-01-30T13:52:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "82B30", "94A17" ], "keywords": [ "relative entropy", "satisfy lesches stability condition", "paper studies continuity", "generalized entropy functions", "distinct definitions" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002math.ph...8038N" } } }
