Havrda-Charvat entropy=Tsallis entropy

Post @ 15:27:58 | Non-extensive entropy

Non-extensive entropy has become widely popular in statistical physics. At its core is the so-called Tsallis entropy that generalizes the Boltzmann-Shannon entropy.
In fact, this family of parameterized entropies was historically first studied by researchers in information theory:

from a 1967 paper of Jan Havrda and Frantisek Charvat.
