Power law scaling is observed in many physical, biological and socio-economical complex systems and is now considered as an important property of these systems. In general, power law exists in the central part of the distribution. It has…

We derive a scaling property from a fundamental nonlinear differential equation whose solution is the so-called q-exponential function. A scaling property has been believed to be given by a power function only, but actually more general…
It is well-known that the partition function can consistently be factorized from the canonical equilibrium distribution obtained through the maximization of the Shannon entropy. We show that such a normalized and factorized equilibrium…
