= Nonextensive entropy
{wiki=Nonextensive_entropy}
Nonextensive entropy is a generalization of the classical statistical mechanics concept of entropy, originally formulated by Ludwig Boltzmann and further developed by Claude Shannon in the context of information theory. Nonextensive entropy arises in contexts where the assumptions of traditional Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics apply poorly, particularly in systems exhibiting long-range interactions, strong correlations, or fractal structures.
