The framework of non-extensive statistical mechanics, proposed by Tsallis, has been used to describe a variety of systems. The non-extensive statistical mechanics is usually introduced in a formal way, thus simple models exhibiting some…
In the framework of the Tsallis statistical mechanics, for the spin-1/2 and the harmonic oscillator, we study the change of the population of states when the parameter $q$ is varied; the results show that the difference between predictions…
In this paper considering the transformation $X=\frac{Y}{1+Y}$, where $Y \sim\text{Lindley}(\theta)$, we propose the unit-Lindley distribution and investigate some of its mathematical properties. A important fact associated with this new…
We comment on some open questions and theoretical peculiarities in Tsallis nonextensive statistical mechanics. It is shown that the theoretical basis of the successful Tsallis' generalized exponential distribution shows some worrying…
A formal correspondence between the q-distribution obtained from the Tsallis entropy and non-maxwellian distributions obtained from the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy is afforded.
In a paper by Umarov, Tsallis and Steinberg (2008), a generalization of the Fourier transform, called the $q$-Fourier transform, was introduced and applied for the proof of a $q$-generalized central limit theorem ($q$-CLT). Subsequently,…
For $-\pi\leq\beta_1<\beta_2\leq\pi$ denote by $\Phi_{\beta_1,\beta_2}(Q)$ the number of algebraic numbers on the unit circle with arguments in $[\beta_1,\beta_2]$ of degree $2m$ and with elliptic height at most $Q$. We show that \[…
We give a new proof of the theorems on the maximum entropy principle in Tsallis statistics. That is, we show that the $q$-canonical distribution attains the maximum value of the Tsallis entropy, subject to the constraint on the…
The canonical probability distribution function (pdf) obtained by optimizing the Tsallis entropy under the linear mean energy constraint (first formalism) or the escort mean energy constraint (third formalism) suffer self-referentiality. In…
We study the probability distribution $Q(n,t)$ of $n(t)$, the fraction of spins unflipped till time $t$, in a Ising chain with ferromagnetic interactions. The distribution shows a peak at $n=n_{max}$ and in general is non-Gaussian and…
In this paper we analyze the probability distributions associated with rolling (possibly unfair) dice infinitely often. Specifically, given a $q$-sided die, if $x_i\in\{0,\ldots,q-1\}$ denotes the outcome of the $i^{\text{th}}$ toss, then…
q-Gaussians are probability distributions having their origin in the framework of Tsallis statistics. A continuous real parameter q is characterizing them so that, in the range 1 < q < 3, the q-functions pass from the usual Gaussian form,…
In this paper, we prove an important cryptographic property of $PE$-transformation proposed elsewhere. If $PE$-transformation is used as encrypting function then after $n$ applications of it on arbitrary message the distribution of…
In response to M. Campisi's comment [arXiv: 1310.5556] on our recent work [Phys. Rev. E 88, 042126 (2013)], we first point out that the distribution used by Campisi is not the correct escort distribution and further provide arguments…
We estimate several probability distributions arising from the study of random, monic polynomials of degree $n$ with coefficients in the integers of a general $p$-adic field $K_{\mathfrak{p}}$ having residue field with $q= p^f$ elements. We…
Recently, Zhang, Li, and Guo have proposed a particular eavesdropping attack [Phys. Rev. A {\bf 63}, 036301 (2001), quant-ph/0009042] which shows that my quantum key distribution protocol based on entanglement swapping [Phys. Rev. A {\bf…
The stochastic properties of variables whose addition leads to $q$-Gaussian distributions $G_q(x)=[1+(q-1)x^2]_+^{1/(1-q)}$ (with $q\in\mathbb{R}$ and where $[f(x)]_+=max\{f(x),0\}$) as limit law for a large number of terms are…
The classical theorem of Schnirelmann states that the primes are an additive basis for the integers. In this paper we consider the analogous multiplicative setting of the cyclic group $\left(\mathbb{Z}/ q\mathbb{Z}\right)^{\times}$, and…
We prove that the set of Farey fractions of order $T$, that is, the set $\{\alpha/\beta \in \Q : \gcd(\alpha, \beta) = 1, 1 \le \alpha, \beta \le T\}$, is uniformly distributed in residue classes modulo a prime $p$ provided $T \ge p^{1/2…
The parametric resonance was studied in chiral phase transitions when the momentum distribution is described by a Tsallis distribution. A Tsallis distribution has two parameters, the temperature $T$ and the entropic index $q$. The…
