We prove that the appropriately normalized maximum of the Gaussian $1/f^{\alpha}$-noise with $\alpha<1$ converges in distribution to the Gumbel double-exponential law.
Probability distributions which emerge from the formalism of nonextensive statistical mechanics have been applied to a variety of problems. In this paper we unite modeling of such distributions with the model of widespread 1/f noise. We…
