$κ$-generalization of Stirling approximation and multinominal coefficients

Abstract

Stirling approximation of the factorials and multinominal coefficients are generalized based on the one-parameter ($κ$) deformed functions introduced by Kaniadakis [Phys. Rev. E \textbf{66} (2002) 056125]. We have obtained the relation between the $κ$-generalized multinominal coefficients and the $κ$-entropy by introducing a new $κ$-product operation.
