The
-deformed exponential
studied by Kaniadakis [1]-[3] allows to construct “deformed” Lorentz transformations associated with the ordinary velocity boost rapidity parameter
and which can be recast in terms of ordinary Lorentz transformations (involving the ordinary exponential) but associated with a
-deformed (modified) rapidity parameter
given by a
-dependent scaling of the original
rapidity parameter. It is shown that when both the
parameter and
, and the double scaling limit
is finite and nonzero, it leads to a finite value for the
-deformed boost rapidity parameter
