Description

The Thomas-Fermi model is generalized using the maximum Renyi entropy principle. A simple relation between the dimension and the Renyi parameter is emphasized. The Renyi entropy of atoms is approximately expressed with the logarithm of the kinetic energy. An approximate relation between the value of the density at the nucleus and the kinetic energy is found
