Abstract: Starting with the relative entropy based on a previously proposed entropy function $S_q[p]=intdxp(x)(-lnp(x){)}^q$, we find the corresponding Fisher's information measure. After function redefinition we then maximize the Fisher information measure with respect to the new function and obtain a differential operator that reduces to a space coordinate second derivative in the $qo1$ limit. We then propose a simple differential equation for anomalous diffusion and show that its solutions are a generalization of the functions in the Barenblatt-Pattle solution. We find that the mean squared displacement, up to a $q$-dependent constant, has a time dependence according to $<x^2>sim{K}^{1/q}{t}^{1/q}$, where the parameter $q$ takes values $q=frac2n-12n+1$ (superdiffusion) and $q=frac2n+12n-1$ (subdiffusion), $forallngeq1$.
