Description

We present the most concise set of axioms for Tsallis entropy, and rigorously prove the uniqueness theorem. This set of axioms consists of only two distinct additivities: pseudoadditivity and Shannon additivity. We then compare our axioms with the axioms presented by Santos. The peculiarity of pseudoadditivity as an axiom for Tsallis entropy is also discussed
