Tsallis entropy: axiomatic characterization and application. (English) Zbl 1179.82007
Summary: We first present a simple axiomatic derivation of Tsallis entropy as an extension of Shannon entropy. As an application we have first study the importance of Tsallis entropy in the statistical characterization of diversity of a population ecosystem. We next study some characteristic properties of an age-structured population on the basis of the Tsallis entropy.
