Title Of Article :
The Physical Meaning of the Rényi Relative Entropy
Abstract :
The Boltzmann-Gibbs relative entropy provides the difference between the offequilibriumand equilibrium free energy terms associated with Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy.In this work, we studied whether this physical meaning can be given to Rényi relativeentropy definition. We find that this is possible only in the limit as q approaches to 1.This shows that Rényi relative entropy has a physical meaning only when the system canalready be explained by ordinary Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy. We also note that this resultis independent of the internal energy constraint employed.
