Certain fluctuations in particle number at fixed total energy lead exactly to a cut-power law distribution in the one-particle energy, via the induced fluctuations in the phase-space volume ratio. The temperature parameter is expressed…
General relationship between mean Boltzmann entropy and Gibbs entropy is established. It is found that their difference is equal to fluctuation entropy, which is a Gibbs-like entropy of macroscopic quantities. The ratio of the fluctuation…
It has been suggested recently that `$q$-exponential' distributions which form the basis of Tsallis' non-extensive thermostatistical formalism may be viewed as mixtures of exponential (Gibbs) distributions characterized by a fluctuating…
The thermodynamic maximum principle for the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon (BGS) entropy is reconsidered by combining elements from group and measure theory. Our analysis starts by noting that the BGS entropy is a special case of relative entropy.…
The present paper studies a large class of temperature dependent probability distributions and shows that entropy and energy can be defined in such a way that these probability distributions are the equilibrium states of a generalized…
We derive a formula that defines quantum fluctuations of energy in subsystems of a hot relativistic gas. For small subsystem sizes we find substantial increase of fluctuations compared to those known from standard thermodynamic…
We demonstrate that the Gibbs-Shannon entropy is applicable to non-equilibrium systems of any size and boundary conditions. The change in microscopic entropy can be attributed to the stochastic nature of dynamic processes and to the…
The Boltzmann entropy $S^{(B)}$ is true in the case of equal probability of all microstates of a system. In the opposite case it should be averaged over all microstates that gives rise to the Boltzmann--Shannon entropy (BSE). Maximum…
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 generalize the usual exponential Boltzmann factor to any reasonable and potentially observable distribution function, $B(E)$. By defining generalized logarithms $\Lambda$ as inverses of these distribution functions, we are led to a…
Many complex systems are characterized by non-Boltzmann distribution functions of their statistical variables. If one wants to -- justified or not -- hold on to the maximum entropy principle for complex statistical systems (non-Boltzmann)…
The detailed fluctuation theorems of the exact form $P(A)/P(-A)=e^A$ exist only for a handful of variables $A$, namely for work (Crooks theorem), for total entropy change (Seifert's theorem), etc. However, the so-called modified detailed…
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…
A formula to calculate the quantum fluctuations of energy in small subsystems of a hot and relativistic gas is derived. We find an increase in fluctuations for subsystems of small sizes, but we agrees with the energy fluctuations in the…
Tsallis has suggested a nonextensive generalization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy, the maximization of which gives a generalized canonical distribution under special constraints. In this brief report we show that the generalized canonical…
In this paper we numerically examine the connection of the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation formula and the functional form of the corresponding probability density function in the field driven Lorentz gas thermostated by the Gaussian…
Based on trajectory dependent path probability formalism in state space, we derive generalized entropy production fluctuation relations for a quantum system in the presence of measurement and feedback. We have obtained these results for…
It will be shown, how the Boltzmannian ideas on statistical physics can be naturally applied to nonequilibrium thermodynamics. A similar approach for treating nonequilibrium phenomena has been successfully used by Einstein and Smoluchowski…
By using the Jacobi metric of the configuration space, and assuming ergodicity, we calculate the Boltzmann entropy $S$ of a finite-dimensional system around a non-degenerate critical point of its potential energy $V$. We compare $S$ with…
The equilibrium distributions of probabilities providing maximality of Renyi and Tsallis entropies are rederived. New S-forms of them are found which are normalised with corresponding entropies in contrast to the usual Z-forms normalised…
