The Jensen–Shannon divergence is a symmetrized and smoothed version of the Kullback–Leibler divergence. Recently it has been widely applied to the analysis and characterization of symbolic sequences. In this paper we investigate a generalization of the Jensen–Shannon divergence. This...

We discuss the paradigmatic bipartite spin-12 system having the probabilities (1+3x)/4 of being in the Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen fully entangled state |Ψ−〉≡1/2(|↑〉A|↓〉B−|↓〉A|↑〉B) and 3(1−x)/4 of being orthogonal. This system is known to be separable if and only if...

The study of conditional q-entropies in composite quantum systems has recently been the focus of considerable interest, particularly in connection with the problem of separability. The q-entropies depend on the density matrix <InlineEquation ID="Equ2"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$\rho$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation> through the quantity <InlineEquation ID="Equ3"> <EquationSource Format="TEX">$\omega_q={\rm Tr}\rho^q$</EquationSource> </InlineEquation>, and admit...</equationsource></inlineequation></equationsource></inlineequation>

In order to ascertain which are the essential requirements that allow for the application of MaxEnt techniques in connection with evolution problems, we study time-dependent probability distributions governed by a general, linear evolution equation that admits, as particular instances, the...

We undertake the study of EEG-signals by recourse to a wavelet based multiresolution analysis as adapted to an information-measure-scenario. Different information measures are employed. It is shown that non-extensive ones seem to be of particular usefulness.

We show how the demon of Frieden and Soffer, working in a nonextensive statistical scenario, is able to devise solutions to some of Einstein’s field equations by recourse to nonlocal changes of variables between appropriate differential equations. It is seen that a variety of cosmological...

Dynamical thermostatting constitutes a procedure for computing thermodynamical mean values of classical dynamical systems that is of interest both from the practical and from the conceptual points of view. Here we extend and unify previous partial results, showing that the dynamical...

Escort distributions are a well established but (for physicists) a relatively new concept that is rapidly gaining wide acceptance in world. In this work we wish to revisit the concept within the strictures of the celebrated semiclassical Husimi distributions (HDs) and thereby investigate the...

In this paper, we present some geometric properties of the maximum entropy Tsallis-distributions under energy constraint. In the case q1, these distributions are proved to be marginals of uniform distributions on the sphere; in the case q1, they can be constructed as conditional distributions of...
