Non-unique way to generalize the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution
Abstract
Description
Alternative definitions are given of basic concepts of generalized thermostatistics. In particular, generalizations of Shannon's entropy, of the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution, and of relative entropy are considered. Particular choices made in Tsallis' nonextensive thermostatistics are questioned.
