Generalized information entropies depending only on the probability distribution
Abstract
Systems with a long-term stationary state that possess as a spatio-temporally fluctuation quantity β can be described by a superposition of several statistics, a "super statistics". We consider first, the Gamma, log-normal and F-distributions of β. It is assumed that they depend only on pl, the probability associated with the microscopic configuration of the system. For each of the three β-distributions we calculate the Boltzmann factors and show that they coincide for small variance of the fluctuations. For the Gamma distribution it is possible to calculate the entropy in a closed form, depending on pl, and to obtain then an equation relating pl with β El. We also propose, as other examples, new entropies close related with the Kaniadakis and two possible Sharma-Mittal entropies. The entropies presented in this work do not depend on a constant parameter q but on pl. For the pl-Gamma distribution and its corresponding Bpl(E) Boltzmann factor and the associated entropy, we show the validity of the saddle-point approximation. We also briefly discuss the generalization of one of the four Khinchin axioms to get this proposed entropy.
