摘要
In this work, we consider a recently proposed entropy S defined by a variational relationship dI = d (x) over bar - (dx) over bar as a measure of uncertainty of random variable x. The entropy defined in this way underlies an extension of virtual work principle (dx) over bar = 0 leading to the maximum entropy d(I - (x) over bar) = 0. This paper presents an analytical investigation of this maximizable entropy for several distributions such as the stretched exponential distribution, kappa-exponential distribution, and Cauchy distribution.
