The pseudopotential method is used to derive electron hole structures in a suprathermal plasma having a regularized $\kappa$ probability distribution function background. The regularized character allows the exploration of small $\kappa$…

We use rigorous non-equilibrium thermodynamic arguments to prove (i) the residual entropy of any system is bounded below by the experimentally (calorimetrically) determined absolute temperature entropy, which itself is bounded below by the…

The generally accepted representation of $\kappa$-distributions in space plasma physics allows for two different alternatives, namely assuming either the temperature or the thermal velocity to be $\kappa$-independent. The present paper aims…

The nonextensive statistics based on the $q$-entropy $S_q=-\frac{\sum_{i=1}^v(p_i-p_i^q)}{1-q}$ has been so far applied to systems in which the $q$ value is uniformly distributed. For the systems containing different $q$'s, the…

We demonstrate that a nonthermal distribution of particles described by a kappa distribution can be accurately approximated by a weighted sum of Maxwell-Boltzmann distributions. We apply this method to modeling collision processes in…

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)…

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…

A proof of the relativistic $H$-theorem by including nonextensive effects is given. As it happens in the nonrelativistic limit, the molecular chaos hypothesis advanced by Boltzmann does not remain valid, and the second law of thermodynamics…

In ordinary statistical mechanics the Boltzmann-Shannon entropy is related to the Maxwell-Bolzmann distribution $p_i$ by means of a twofold link. The first link is differential and is offered by the Jaynes Maximum Entropy Principle. The…

The thermodynamic stability conditions (TSC) of nonadditive and composable entropies are discussed. Generally the concavity of a nonadditive entropy with respect to internal energy is not necessarily equivalent to the corresponding TSC. It…

A multi-parametric version of the nonadditive entropy $S_{q}$ is introduced. This new entropic form, denoted by $S_{a,b,r}$, possesses many interesting statistical properties, and it reduces to the entropy $S_q$ for $b=0$, $a=r:=1-q$ (hence…
