It is by now well known that the Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) entropy $S_{BG}=-k\sum_{i=1}^W p_i \ln p_i$ can be usefully generalized into the entropy $S_q=k (1-\sum_{i=1}^Wp_i^{q}) / (q-1)$ ($q\in \mathcal{R}; S_1=S_{BG}$). Microscopic dynamics…

A random variable is equi-dispersed if its mean equals its variance. A Poisson distribution is a classical example of this phenomenon. However, a less well-known fact is that the class of normal densities that are equi-dispersed constitutes…

The probability distribution of a function of a subsystem conditioned on the value of the function of the whole, in the limit when the ratio of their values goes to zero, has a limit law: It equals the unconditioned marginal probability…

The study of complex systems is limited by the fact that only few variables are accessible for modeling and sampling, which are not necessarily the most relevant ones to explain the systems behavior. In addition, empirical data typically…

The nature of statistics, statistical mechanics and consequently the thermodynamics of stochastic systems is largely determined by how the number of states $W(N)$ depends on the size $N$ of the system. Here we propose a scaling expansion of…

Tsallis has proposed a generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs thermostatistics by introducing a family of generalized nonextensive entropy functionals with a single parameter $q$. These reduce to the extensive Boltzmann-Gibbs form for $q=1$, but…

For a dynamical system far from equilibrium, one has to deal with empirical probabilities defined through time-averages, and the main problem is then how to formulate an appropriate statistical thermodynamics. The common answer is that the…
