New Advances in Entropy Formulation - "Nonadditive Entropy"
Well, chalk it up to being newly returned to the fold - after years of work in knowledge discovery, predictive analysis, neural networks, and sensor fusion, I'm finally returning to my roots and re-invigorating some previous work that involves the Cluster Variation Method. In the course of this, I've just learned (as a Janie-come-lately) about the major evolution in thinking about entropy, largely led by Constantino Tsallis. He has an excellent review paper, The nonadditive entropy Sq and its applications in physics and elsewhere: some remarks. Beautifully done; elegantly leads the reader through the somewhat complex and subtle arguments leading to major breakthroughs in entropy formulation.
