Abstract

We numerically calculate, at the edge of chaos, the time evolution of the nonextensive entropic form (with ) for two families of one-dimensional dissipative maps, namely a logistic- and a periodic-like with arbitrary inflexion at their maximum. At we choose initial conditions inside one of the small windows in which the accessible phase space is partitioned; to neutralize large fluctuations we conveniently average over a large amount of initial windows. We verify that one and only one value exists such that the is {\it finite}, {\it thus generalizing the (ensemble version of) Kolmogorov-Sinai entropy} (which corresponds to in the present formalism). This special, -dependent, value numerically coincides, {\it for both families of maps and all }, with the one previously found through two other independent procedures (sensitivity to the initial conditions and multifractal function).
