Toward a relative q-entropy
arXiv:1905.01672 · doi:10.1016/j.physa.2019.123270
Abstract
We address the question and related controversy of the formulation of the -entropy, and its relative entropy counterpart, for models described by continuous (non-discrete) sets of variables. We notice that an normalized functional proposed by Lutwak-Yang-Zhang (LYZ), which is essentially a variation of a properly normalized relative Rényi entropy up to a logarithm, has extremal properties that make it an attractive candidate which can be used to construct such a relative -entropy. We comment on the extremizing probability distributions of this LYZ functional, its relation to the escort distributions, a generalized Fisher information and the corresponding Cramér-Rao inequality. We point out potential physical implications of the LYZ entropic functional and of its extremal distributions.
