In this paper we give an interpretation of Tsallis' nonextensive statistical mechanics based upon the information-theoretic point of view of Luzzi et al. [cond-mat/0306217; cond-mat/0306247; cond-mat/0307325], suggesting Tsallis' entropy to…
Quite unexpectedly, kinetic theory is found to specify the correct definition of average value to be employed in nonextensive statistical mechanics. It is shown that the normal average is consistent with the generalized Stosszahlansatz…
Self-gravitating systems with nonlocal, long-range interactions are described by nonextensive statistics. Recently, Leubner demonstrated that the nonextensivity parameter $\kappa$ should be negative for self-gravitating, pressureless…
We study the statistical mechanics of a general Hamiltonian system in the context of symplectic structure of the corresponding phase space. This covariant formalism reveals some interesting correspondences between properties of the phase…
Most astrophysical plasmas are observed to have velocity distribution functions exhibiting non-Maxwellian suprathermal tails. The high energy particle populations are accurately represented by the family of kappa-distributions where the use…
Stochastic field theories are often constructed phenomenologically, without a systematic assessment of thermodynamic consistency or local detailed balance. This may hinder a physical description of irreversibility at the field-theoretic…
Along recent decades, an intensive worldwide research activity is focusing both black holes and cosmos (e.g. the dark-energy phenomenon) on the basis of entropic approaches. The Boltzmann-Gibbs-based Bekenstein-Hawking entropy…
Tsallis' non-extensive entropy is extended to incorporate the dependence on affinities between the microstates of a system. At the core of our construction of the extended entropy ($\mathcal{H}$) is the concept of the effective number of…
We describe a simple and accurate framework for modeling the statistical behavior of both fully developed turbulence and short-term dynamics of financial markets based on the formalism of Tsallis' generalized non-extensive thermostatistics.…
Regardless of studies and debates over a century, the statistical origin of the second law of thermodynamics still remains illusive. One essential obstacle is the lack of a proper theoretical formalism for non-equilibrium entropy. Here I…
Tsallis' thermostatistics is by now recognized as a new paradigm for statistical mechanical considerations. However, it is still affected by a serious hindrance: the generalization of thermodynamics' zero-th law to a nonextensive scenario…
The current status of implementing Tsallis (nonextensive) statistics on high-energy physics is briefly reviewed. The remarkably low freezeout-temperature, which apparently fails to reproduce the first-principle lattice QCD thermodynamics…
We evaluate the transport properties such as shear viscosity ($\eta$), bulk viscosity ($\zeta$) and their ratios over entropy density ($s$) for hadronic matter using relativistic non-extensive Boltzmann transport equation (NBTE) in…
Based on the form invariance of the structures given by Khinchin's axiomatic foundations of information theory and the pseudoadditivity of the Tsallis entropy indexed by q, the concept of conditional entropy is generalized to the case of…
Thermodynamical properties of canonical and grand-canonical ensembles of the half-filled two-site Hubbard model have been discussed within the framework of the nonextensive statistics (NES). For relating the physical temperature $T$ to the…
We show that the configurational probability distribution of a classical gas always belongs to the q-exponential family. Hence, the configurational subsystem is non-extensive in the sense of Tsallis. One of the consequences of this…
Topological constraints on a dynamical system often manifest themselves as breaking of the Hamiltonian structure; well-known examples are non-holonomic constraints on Lagrangian mechanics. The statistical mechanics under such topological…
The thermal-equilibrium canonical distribution is currently obtained by maximizing the Boltzmann-Gibbs-von Neumann-Shannon entropy $S_{BG}(p)=k\sum^{W}_{i=1}p_{i}\ln 1/p_{i}$ constrained to $\sum^{W}_{i=1}p_{i}=1$ and…
We consider nonequilibrium systems with complex dynamics in stationary states with large fluctuations of intensive quantities (e.g. the temperature, chemical potential, or energy dissipation) on long time scales. Depending on the…
Based on the prescription termed the optimal Lagrange multipliers formalism for extremizing the Tsallis entropy indexed by q, it is shown that key aspects of the treatment of the ideal gas problem are identical in both the nonextensive and…
