Abstract.

It is known that the nonextensive statistics was originally formulated for the systems composed of subsystems having same q. In this paper, the existence of composite system with different q subsystems is investigated by fitting the power law degree distribution of air networks with q-exponential distribution. Then a possible extension the nonextensive statistics to different q systems is provided on the basis of an entropy nonadditivity rule and an unnormalized expectation of energy.
