Mutual Information and Nonadditive Entropies: A Method for Kaniadakis Entropy

Author(s): Amelia Carolina Sparavigna

In [1], we have discussed the mutual information of two random variables and how it can be obtained from entropies. We considered the Shannon entropy and the nonadditive Tsallis entropy. Here, following the same approach used in the Tsallis case, we propose a method for discussing the mutual entropy of another nonadditive entropy, the Kaniadakis entropy.
