Tsallis Entropy and the transition to scaling in fragmentation
arXiv:cond-mat/0002339 · doi:10.3390/e2040172
Abstract
By using the maximum entropy principle with Tsallis entropy we obtain a fragment size distribution function which undergoes a transition to scaling. This distribution function reduces to those obtained by other authors using Shannon entropy. The treatment is easily generalisable to any process of fractioning with suitable constraints.
