Continuity of a class of entropies and relative entropies

Abstract

The present paper studies continuity of generalized entropy functions and relative entropies defined using the notion of a deformed logarithmic function. In particular, two distinct definitions of relative entropy are discussed. As an application, all considered entropies are shown to satisfy Lesche's stability condition. The entropies of Tsallis' nonextensive thermostatistics are taken as examples.
