Tsallis Relative Entropy and Anomalous Diffusion

Tsallis Relative Entropy and Anomalous Diffusion

In this paper we utilize the Tsallis relative entropy, a generalization of the Kullback–Leibler entropy in the frame work of non-extensive thermodynamics to analyze the properties of anomalous diffusion processes. Anomalous (super-) diffusive behavior can be described by fractional diffusion equatio...
