Abstract

In this paper, we focus on evolution from an equilibrium state in a power law form by means of q-exponentials to an arbitrary one. Introducing new q-Gibbsian equalities as the necessary condition of self-organization in nonextensive open systems, we theoretically show how to derive the connections between q-renormalized entropies (ΔS˜q) and q-relative entropies (KLq) in both Bregman and Csiszar forms after we clearly explain the connection between renormalized entropy by Klimantovich and relative entropy by Kullback-Leibler without using any predefined effective Hamiltonian. This function, in our treatment, spontaneously comes directly from the calculations. We also explain the difference between using ordinary and normalized q-expectations in mean energy calculations of the states. To verify the results numerically, we use a toy model of complexity, namely the logistic map defined as Xt+1=1-aXt2, where a∈[0,2] is the map parameter. We measure the level of self-organization using two distinct forms of the q-renormalized entropy through period doublings and chaotic band mergings of the map as the number of periods/chaotic-bands increase/decrease. We associate the behaviour of the q-renormalized entropies with the emergence/disappearance of complex structures in the phase space as the control parameter of the map changes. Similar to Shiner-Davison-Landsberg (SDL) complexity, we categorize the tendencies of the q-renormalized entropies for the evaluation of the map for the whole control parameter space. Moreover, we show that any evolution between two states possesses a unique q=q* value (not a range for q values) for which the q-Gibbsian equalities hold and the values are the same for the Bregmann and Csiszar forms. Interestingly, if the evolution is from a=0 to a=ac≃1.4011, this unique q* value is found to be q*≃0.2445, which is the same value of qsensitivity given in the literature.
