✦ Synopsis

The Lesche stability condition for the Shannon entropy (J. Stat. Phys. 27 (1982) 419), represents a fundamental test, for its experimental robustness, for systems obeying the Maxwell-Boltzmann statistical mechanics. Of course, this stability condition must be satisÿed by any entropic functional candidate to generate non-conventional statistical mechanics. In the present e ort we show that the Ä-entropy, recently introduced in literature (Phys. Rev. E 66 (2002) 056125), satisÿes the Lesche stability condition.
