Abstract

The Lesche stability condition for the Shannon entropy [B. Lesche, J. Stat. Phys. 27, 419 (1982)], represents a fundamental test, for its experimental robustness, for systems obeying the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistical mechanics. Of course, this stability condition must be satisfied by any entropic functional candidate to generate non-conventional statistical mechanics. In the present effort we show that the -entropy, recently introduced in literature [G. Kaniadakis, Phys. Rev. E 66, 056125 (2002)], satisfies the Lesche stability condition.
