Tsallis entropy is a generalization of the classical Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy, introduced by Brazilian physicist Constantino Tsallis in 1988. It is used in the context of non-extensive statistical mechanics, a framework that describes systems with long-range interactions, fractal structures, and other complex behaviors that are not adequately captured by traditional statistical mechanics.
