Axioms and uniqueness theorem for Tsallis entropy
Abstract
The Shannon-Khinchin axioms for the ordinary information entropy are generalized in a natural way to the nonextensive systems based on the concept of nonextensive conditional entropy and a complete proof of the uniqueness theorem for the Tsallis entropy is presented. This improves the discussion of dos Santos [J. Math Phys. 38 (1997) 4104].
