Systems with a long-term stationary state that possess as a spatio-temporally fluctuation quantity $\beta$ can be described by a superposition of several statistics, a "super statistics". We consider first, the Gamma, log-normal and…

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…

We propose a generalization of the quantum entropy introduced by Wigner and von Neumann in 1929 [Zeitschrift f\"ur Physik 57, 30 (1929)]. Our generalization is applicable to both quantum pure states and mixed states. When the dimension $N$…
