Abstract

We study the effects of the environment described by the Tsallis nonextensive statistics on physical quantities using an optimization method in the case of small deviation from the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics. The x4x^4 model is used and the density operator is restricted to be a gaussian form. The variational parameter is the frequency Ω\Omega of a particle in the optimization method. We obtain an approximate expression of free energy and of the expectation value of βmΩ2x2/2\beta m \Omega^2 x^2 /2, where β\beta is the inverse of the temperature and mm is the mass of a particle. Numerically, the optimized frequency is estimated and the expectation value of βmΩ2x2/2\beta m \Omega^2 x^2 /2 is calculated. The effects of the Tsallis nonextensive statistic for small deviation from the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics are found: 1) the frequency modulation of a particle and 2) the variation of the expectation value of βmΩ2x2/2\beta m \Omega^2 x^2 /2 at high temperature.
