Abstract: There are two kinds of Tsallis-probability distributions: heavy tail ones and compact support distributions. We show here, appealing to functional analysis' tools, that for lower bound Hamiltonians only the first type guarantees a maximum for Tsallis-entropy. In the compact support instance, a case by case analysis is necessary in order to tackle the issue.
