On uniqueness theorems for Tsallis entropy and Tsallis relative entropy

The uniqueness theorem for Tsallis entropy was presented in {\it H.Suyari, IEEE Trans. Inform. Theory, Vol.50, pp.1783-1787 (2004)} by introducing the generalized Shannon-Khinchin's axiom. In the present paper, this result is generalized and simplified as follows: {\it Generalization}: The uniqueness theorem for Tsallis relative entropy is shown by means of the generalized Hobson's axiom. {\it Simplification}: The uniqueness theorem for Tsallis entropy is shown by means of the generalized Faddeev's axiom.Comment: this was merged by two manuscripts (arXiv:cond-mat/0410270 and arXiv:cond-mat/0410271), and will be published from IEEE TI

Trace inequalities in nonextensive statistical mechanics

In this short paper, we establish a variational expression of the Tsallis relative entropy. In addition, we derive a generalized thermodynamic inequality and a generalized Peierls-Bogoliubov inequality. Finally we give a generalized Golden-Thompson inequality

Unitarily invariant norm inequalities for some means

We introduce some symmetric homogeneous means, and then show unitarily invariant norm inequalities for them, applying the method established by Hiai and Kosaki. Our new inequalities give the tighter bounds of the logarithmic mean than the inequalities given by Hiai and Kosaki. Some properties and norm continuities in parameter for our means are also discussed

Characterizations of generalized entropy functions by functional equations

We shall show that a two-parameter extended entropy function is characterized by a functional equation. As a corollary of this result, we obtain that the Tsallis entropy function is characterized by a functional equation, which is a different form used in \cite{ST} i.e., in Proposition \ref{prop01} in the present paper. We also give an interpretation of the functional equation giving the Tsallis entropy function, in the relation with two non-additive properties

Refined Young inequalities with Specht's ratio

In this paper, we show that the $\nu$-weighted arithmetic mean is greater than the product of the $\nu$-weighted geometric mean and Specht's ratio. As a corollary, we also show that the $\nu$-weighted geometric mean is greater than the product of the $\nu$-weighted harmonic mean and Specht's ratio. These results give the improvements for the classical Young inequalities, since Specht's ratio is generally greater than 1. In addition, we give an operator inequality for positive operators, applying our refined Young inequality.Comment: A small mistake of calculation in page 4 was corrected.
