A Fractional entropy in Fractal phase space: properties and characterization

Abstract: A two parameter generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy based on natural logarithm is introduced. The generalization of the Shannon-Kinchinn axioms corresponding to the two parameter entropy is proposed and verified. We present the relative entropy, Jensen-Shannon divergence measure and check their properties. The Fisher information measure, relative Fisher information and the Jensen-Fisher information corresponding to this entropy are also derived. The canonical distribution maximizing this entropy is derived and is found to be in terms of the Lambert's W function. Also the Lesche stability and the thermodynamic stability conditions are verified. Finally we propose a generalization of a complexity measure and apply it to a two level system and a system obeying exponential distribution. The results are compared with the corresponding ones obtained using a similar measure based on the Shannon entropy.
