Competing styles in Statistical Mechanics have been introduced to investigate physico-chemical systems displaying complex structures, when one faces difficulties to handle the standard formalism in the well established Boltzmann-Gibbs…

We review here the development of the general formalism for the study of fermion propagation in the presence of stochastic media. This formalism allows the systematic derivation of evolution equations for averaged quantities as survival…
