TSALLIS’ ENTROPY BOUNDS FOR GENERALIZED ORDER STATISTICS
Abstract: We present sharp bounds for expectations of generalized order statistics with
random indices expressed in terms of Tsallis’ entropy. The bounds are attainable and provide
new characterizations of some nontrivial distributions. No restrictions are imposed on the
parameters of the generalized order statistics model.
