The principle of maximum entropy (MaxEnt) applies to the canonical ensemble related to the number of particles, known as the $\mathcal{N}$-ensemble. This concept pertains to physical domains (or basins) that are treated as open systems…

We review a new form of entropy suggested by us, with origin in mixing of states of systems due to interactions and deformations of phase cells. It is demonstrated that this nonextensive form also leads to asymmetric maximal entropy…
