Abstract
Contrary to intuition, entropy production rates grow as reversible, wave-like behavior is approached. This paradox was discovered in time-fractional diffusion equations. It was found to persist for extended entropies and for space-fractional diffusion as well. This paper completes the possibilities by showing that the paradox persists for Tsallis and Rényi entropies in the space-fractional case. Complications arising due to the heavy tail solutions of space-fractional diffusion equations are discussed in detail.
