Comment on "Third Law of thermodynamics as a key test of generalized entropies"

Abstract

Bento et al. [Phys. Rev. E 91, 022105 (2015)] state that the Tsallis entropy violates the third law of thermodynamics for q ≤ 0 and 0<q<1. We show that their results are valid only for q ≥ 1, since there is no distribution maximizing the Tsallis entropy for the intervals q ≤ 0 and 0<q<1 compatible with the system energy expression.
