Comment on "Essential discreteness in generalized thermostatistics with non-logarithmic entropy" by S. Abe
arXiv:1006.1284
Abstract
Recently Abe (arXiv:cond-mat/1005.5110v1) claimed that the q-entropy of nonextensive statistical mechanics cannot be generalized for the continuous variables and therefore can be used only in the discrete case. In this letter, we show that the discrete q-entropy can be generalized to continuous variables exactly in the same manner as Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy, contrary to the claim by Abe, so that q-entropy can be used with discrete as well as continuous variables.
