Abstract
The concept of information functions of type β ( β > 0) is introduced and discussed. By means of these information functions the entropies of type β are defined. These entropies have a number of interesting algebraic and analytic properties similar to Shannon's entropy. The capacity of type β ( β > 1) of a discrete constant channel is defined by means of the entropy of type β . Examples are given for the computation of the capacity of type β , from which the Shannon's capacity can be derived as the limiting case β = 1.

Long-range interactions, doubling measures and Tsallis entropy

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a path toward determining the statistical origin of the thermodynamic limit for systems with long-range interactions, assuming that the systems under consideration have thermodynamic properties given by the Tsallis entropy.

R\'enyi and Tsallis formulations of noise-disturbance trade-off relations

TL;DR: In this article, an information-theoretic approach to noise and disturbance in quantum measurements is presented, which is characterized by means of both the Renyi and Tsallis entropies.

A new representation for the nonlinear classical oscillator

TL;DR: In this article, the q-exponential function defined by Tsallis is used to make a new representation of the classical nonlinear oscillator in which the solution of the correspondent differential equation is mapped in another nonlinear differential equation with the coordinate x(t) deformed in a new coordinate x (t) and the solution is given in the form of a sum of two complex qexponential functions.

Transmission of information

TL;DR: A warning device associated with arotatable body comprising means on the rotatable body for creating a magnetic field, a receiving coil on a relatively stationary member arranged such that a warning is given upon occurrence of a predetermined condition, such as pressure of a vehicle wheel deviating outside a predetermined limit.
