Tsallis has suggested a nonextensive generalization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy, the maximization of which gives a generalized canonical distribution under special constraints. In this brief report we show that the generalized canonical…
We show that within classical statistical mechanics it is possible to naturally derive power law distributions which are of Tsallis type. The only assumption is that microcanonical distributions have to be separable from of the total system…

We investigate the limiting cases of Tsallis statistics. The viewpoint adopted is not the standard information-theoretic one, where one derives the distribution from a given measure of information. Instead the mechanical approach recently…
It is shown that distributions arising in Renyi-Tsallis maximum entropy setting are related to the Generalized Pareto Distributions (GPD) that are widely used for modeling the tails of distributions. The relevance of such modelization, as…

Microcanonical equations for several thermodynamic properties of a system, suitable for molecular dynamics simulations, are derived from the nonextensive Tsallis entropy functional. Two possible definitions of temperature, the usual one and…
By using the maximum entropy principle with Tsallis entropy we obtain a fragment size distribution function which undergoes a transition to scaling. This distribution function reduces to those obtained by other authors using Shannon…
A broad set of sufficient conditions that guarantees the existence of the maximum entropy (maxent) distribution consistent with specified bounds on certain generalized moments is derived. Most results in the literature are either focused on…
Most astrophysical plasmas are observed to have velocity distribution functions exhibiting non-Maxwellian suprathermal tails. The high energy particle populations are accurately represented by the family of kappa-distributions where the use…
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…

We discuss different aspects of the present status of the Statistical Physics focusing the attention on the non-extensive systems, and in particular, on the so called small systems. Multimicrocanonical Distribution and some of its geometric…
The non-extensive canonical ensemble theory is reconsidered with the method of Lagrange multipliers by maximizing Tsallis entropy, with the constraint that the normalized term of Tsallis' $q-$average of physical quantities, the sum $\sum…
We revisit the cut-off prescriptions which are needed in order to specify completely the form of Tsallis' maximum entropy distributions. For values of the Tsallis entropic parameter $q>1$ we advance an alternative cut-off prescription and…
For non-equilibrium systems in a steady state we present two necessary and sufficient conditions for the emergence of $q$-canonical ensembles, also known as Tsallis statistics. These conditions are invariance requirements over the…
