Because of growing interest in temperature-based sampling methods like replica exchange, this note aims to make some observations and raise some potentially important questions which we have not seen addressed sufficiently in the…
We present a formalism for which a dissipative system is given by a variational principle. The formalism applies to dynamical systems where its trajectory is monotonic. Subsequently, we derive its Lagrangian and Hamiltonian. From the…
The canonical partition function is related to the grand canonical one through the fugacity expansion and is known to have no sign problem. In this paper we perform the fugacity expansion by a method of the hopping parameter expansion in…
It is shown that time reversibility of Hamiltonian microscopic dynamics and Gibbs canonical statistical ensemble of initial conditions for it together produce an exact virial expansion for probability distribution of path of molecular…
The appeal of thermodynamics to problems outside physics is undeniable, as is the growing recognition of its apparent universality, yet in the absence of a rigorous formalism divorced from the peculiarities of molecular systems all attempts…
We consider a thermal particle which is diffusing in velocity-space and in a weakly confining potential characterized by the inverse hyperbolic sine function of the particle velocity $v$ and the control parameter $v_c$. The stationary state…
In this chapter, we present a straightforward geometrical argument that in a certain way recalls us the equivalence between the canonical and the microcanonical ensembles in the thermodynamic limit for the particular context of physical…
The porous media equation has been proposed as a phenomenological ``non-extensive'' generalization of classical diffusion. Here, we show that a very similar equation can be derived, in a systematic manner, for a classical fluid by assuming…
Anomalous diffusion and power-law distributions are observed in various complex systems. To provide a consistent dynamical foundation for these phenomena, we present a geometric derivation of the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation by…
We comment on the problem of energy translation invariance of probability distribution and present some observations. It is shown that a probability distribution can be invariant in the thermodynamic limit if there is no long term…
Statistical thermodynamics has a universal appeal that extends beyond molecular systems, and yet, as its tools are being transplanted to fields outside physics, the fundamental question, \textit{what is thermodynamics?}, has remained…
We discuss different aspects of the present status of the Statistical Physics focusing the attention on the non-extensive systems, and in particular, on the so called small systems. Multimicrocanonical Distribution and some of its geometric…
It is shown, that the only reason for possibility of using microcanonical ensemble is that there are probabilistic processes in microworld, that are not described by quantum mechanic. On a simple example it is demonstrated, that canonical…
The aim of this paper is to introduce a new technique for calculation of observables, in particular multiplicity distributions, in various statistical ensembles at finite volume. The method is based on Fourier analysis of the grand…
We discuss the possibility of using generalized canonical distributions, i.e. using other factors than $\exp(-\beta E)$, in order to compute the equilibrium properties of physical systems. It will be show that some other choices can, in…
We present the exact adiabatic theory for the dynamics of the inhomogeneous density distribution of a classical fluid. Erroneous particle number fluctuations of dynamical density functional theory are absent, both for canonical and grand…
The thermodynamics for a system with given temperature, density, and volume is described by the Canonical ensemble. The thermodynamics for a corresponding system with the same temperature, volume, and average density is described by the…
We give a unified derivation of the propagator in the gauges $n.A=0$ for $n^2$ timelike, spacelike or lightlike. We discuss the physical states and other physical questions.
Starting from the $\kappa$-distribution function, obtained by applying the maximal entropy principle to the $\kappa$-entropy [G. Kaniadakis, Phys. Rev. E 66 (2002), 056125], we derive the expression of the canonical $\kappa$-partition…
A family of m independent identically distributed random variables indexed by a chemical potential \phi\in[0,\gamma] represents piles of particles. As \phi increases to \gamma, the mean number of particles per site converges to a maximal…
