The framework of non-extensive statistical mechanics, proposed by Tsallis, has been used to describe a variety of systems. The non-extensive statistical mechanics is usually introduced in a formal way, thus simple models exhibiting some…

In nonextensive statistical mechanics, two kinds of definitions have been considered for expectation valu of a physical quantity: one is the ordinary definition and the other is the normalized q-expectation value employing the escort…

The purpose of this note is to argue that degree of nonextensivity as given by Tsallis distribution obtained from maximum entropy principle has a different origin than nonextensivity inferred from pseudo-additive property of Tsallis…

There is a conception that Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics cannot yield the long tail distribution. This is the justification for the intensive research of nonextensive entropies (i.e. Tsallis entropy and others). Here the error that caused this…

In a recent paper, Wang. et al. (2009) claim that Tsallis' nonadditivity of q-nonextensive statistical mechanics (Gell-Mann and Tsallis 2004, Tsallis 2009) is mathematically inconsistent and hence one should carefully review Tsallis' ideas…

The properties of the nonextensive parameter q and the Tsallis distribution for self-gravitating systems are studied. A mathematical expression of q is deduced based on the generalized Boltzmann equation, the q-H theorem and the generalized…

A nonextensive thermostatic approach to chaotic dynamical systems is developed by expressing generalized Tsallis distribution as escort distribution. We explicitly show the thermodynamic limit and also derive the Legendre Transform…

In a recent letter (EPL, 104 (2013) 60003) we suggested a way to avoid divergences inherent to the formulation of nonextensive statistical mechanics. They can be eliminated via the use of a q-Laplace transformation, which was illustrated…

Tsallis' thermostatistics is by now recognized as a new paradigm for statistical mechanical considerations. However, it is still affected by a serious hindrance: the generalization of thermodynamics' zero-th law to a nonextensive scenario…

Examples of joint probability distributions are studied in terms of Tsallis' nonextensive statistics both for correlated and uncorrelated variables, in particular it is explicitely shown how correlations in the system can make Tsallis…

The current form of Tsallis distribution for a Hamiltonian system with an arbitrary potential is found to represent a simple isothermal situation. In this letter, the q-exponential of a sum can be applied as the product of the q-exponential…

In this study the q-statistics of Tsallis theory is testified in various complex physical systems. Especially the Tsallis q-triplet is estimated for space plasmas atmospheric dynamics and seismogenesis as well as for the brain and cardiac…

In many situations, in all branches of physics, one encounters power-like behavior of some variables which are best described by a Tsallis distribution characterized by a nonextensivity parameter $q$ and scale parameter $T$. However, there…

Nonextensive quantum gas distributions are investigated on the basis of the factorization hypothesis of compound probability required by thermodynamic equilibrium. It is shown that the formalisms of Tsallis nonextensive statistical…

The nonextensitivity parameter $q$ occuring in some of the applications of Tsallis statistics (known also as index of the corresponding L\'evy distribution) is shown to be given, in $q>1$ case, entirely by the fluctuations of the parameters…

It is pointed out that the constraint to be imposed to the maximization of the entropy for processes outside the class of thermodynamical systems, is generally not well defined. In fact, any probability distribution can be derived from…

We demonstrate that selection of the minimal value of ordered variables leads in a natural way to its distribution being given by the Tsallis distribution, the same as that resulting from Tsallis nonextensive statistics. The possible…

Gauss' law of error is generalized in Tsallis statistics such as multifractal systems, in which Tsallis entropy plays an essential role instead of Shannon entropy. For the generalization, we apply the new multiplication operation determined…
