Rescuing the MaxEnt treatment for q-generalized entropies

Abstract

It has been recently argued, via very clever arguments, that the MaxEnt variational problem would not adequately work for Renyi's and Tsallis' entropies. We constructively show here that this is not so if one formulates the associated variational problem in a more orthodox functional fashion.
