Recently we have demostrated that the nonextensitivity parameter q occuring in some applications of Tsallis statistics (known also as index of the corresponding L\'evy distribution) is, in the q>1 case, given entirely by the fluctuations of…
The Tsallis entropy is shown to be an additive entropy of degree-q that information scientists have been using for almost forty years. Neither is it a unique solution to the nonadditive functional equation from which random entropies are…
We discuss the idea that the Tsallis-type (q-additive) entropic chain rule allows for a wider class of entropic functionals than previously thought. In particular, we point out that the ensuing entropy solutions (e.g., Tsallis entropy) can…
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…
The aim of the present paper is to present a careful and accessible discussion of the formal aspects of Boltzmann-Gibbs and Tsallis entropies. We begin with a brief overview of Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy, highlighting its main properties and…

Experimental particle spectra can be successfully described by power-law tailed energy distributions characteristic to canonical equilibrium distributions associated to R\'enyi's or Tsallis' entropy formula - over a wide range of energies,…
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…
Quite general, analytical (both exact and approximate) forms for discrete probability distributions (PD's) that maximize Tsallis entropy for a fixed variance are here investigated. They apply, for instance, in a wide variety of scenarios in…
We present a new framework for modeling the statistical behavior of both fully developed turbulence and short-term dynamics of financial markets based on the nonextensive thermostatistics proposed by Tsallis. We also show that intermittency…
High-energy phenomena presenting strong dynamical correlations, long-range interactions and microscopic memory effects are well described by nonextensive versions of the canonical Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics. After a brief…
The nonadditive entropy introduced by Tsallis in 1988 has been used in different fields and generalizes the Boltzmann entropy extending the possibilities of application of the statistical methods developed in the context of Mechanics. Here…
This article extends the non-extensive entropy of Tsallis and uses this entropy to model an energy producing system in an absorbing heat bath. This modified non-extensive entropy is superficially identical to the one proposed by Tsallis,…
In this paper we give an interpretation of Tsallis' nonextensive statistical mechanics based upon the information-theoretic point of view of Luzzi et al. [cond-mat/0306217; cond-mat/0306247; cond-mat/0307325], suggesting Tsallis' entropy to…
We derive equations for fluid dynamics from a non-extensive Boltzmann transport equation consistent with Tsallis' non-extensive entropy formula. We evaluate transport coefficients employing the relaxation time approximation and investigate…
The recently introduced resource theory of imaginarity facilitates a systematic investigation into the role of complex numbers in quantum mechanics and quantum information theory. In this work, we propose well-defined measures of…
It is pointed out that the Tsallis entropy functional represented in terms of the escort distribution is not concave of the entropic index $q$ is less than unity. It is emphasized that the escort distribution is a secondary object…
It is shown that the distribution derived from the principle of maximum Tsallis entropy is a superposable Levy-type distribution. Concomitantly, the leading order correction to the limit distribution is also deduced. This demonstration…
An amended MaxEnt formulation for systems displaced from the conventional MaxEnt equilibrium is proposed. This formulation involves the minimization of the Kullback-Leibler divergence to a reference $Q$ (or maximization of Shannon…
Classical statistical mechanics of macroscopic systems in equilibrium is based on Boltzmann's principle. Tsallis has proposed a generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics. Its relation to dynamics and nonextensivity of statistical systems…
