Abstract

This work focuses on exploring the properties of past Tsallis entropy as it applies to order statistics. The relationship between the past Tsallis entropy of an ordered variable in the context of any continuous probability law and the past Tsallis entropy of the ordered variable resulting from a uniform continuous probability law is worked out. For order statistics, this method offers important insights into the characteristics and behavior of the dynamic Tsallis entropy, which is associated with past events. In addition, we investigate how to find a bound for the new dynamic information measure related to the lifetime unit under various conditions and whether it is monotonic with respect to the time when the device is idle. By exploring these properties and also investigating the monotonic behavior of the new dynamic information measure, we contribute to a broader understanding of order statistics and related entropy quantities.
