We present the main features of the mathematical theory generated by the \kappa-deformed exponential function exp_{\kappa}(x)=(\sqrt{1+\kappa^2 x^2}+\kappa x)^{1/\kappa}, with 0<\kappa<1, developed in the last twelve years, which turns out…
Recently, in the ref. Physica A \bfm{296} 405 (2001), a new one parameter deformation for the exponential function $\exp_{_{\{{\scriptstyle \kappa}\}}}(x)= (\sqrt{1+\kappa^2x^2}+\kappa x)^{1/\kappa}; \exp_{_{\{{\scriptstyle 0}\}}}(x)=\exp…
It has been pointed out by Patriarca et al. (2005) that the power-law tailed equilibrium distribution in heterogeneous kinetic exchange models with a distributed saving parameter can be resolved as a mixture of Gamma distributions…
The paper provides a survey of results related to the "$\kappa$-generalized distribution", a statistical model for the size distribution of income and wealth. Topics include, among others, discussion of basic analytical properties,…
Over the last two decades, it has been argued that the Lorentz transformation mechanism, which imposes the generalization of Newton's classical mechanics into Einstein's special relativity, implies a generalization, or deformation, of the…
In a recent paper in this journal [J. Stat. Mech. (2009) P02037] we proposed a new, physically motivated, distribution function for modeling individual incomes having its roots in the framework of the k-generalized statistical mechanics.…
Empirical evidence shows stock returns are often heavy-tailed rather than normally distributed. The $\kappa$-generalised distribution, originated in the context of statistical physics by Kaniadakis, is characterised by the…
Probability distributions of money, income, and energy consumption per capita are studied for ensembles of economic agents. The principle of entropy maximization for partitioning of a limited resource gives exponential distributions for the…
We analyse the UK income distribution from 2000 to 2023 using HMRC annual percentile data for both pre-tax and post-tax income. We fit a prefactor-adjusted $\kappa$-generalised specification to the data by weighted non-linear least squares…
The present Letter, deals with the statistical theory [Phys. Rev. E {\bf 66}, 056125 (2002) and Phys. Rev E {\bf 72}, 036108 (2005)], which predicts the probability distribution $p(E) \propto \exp_{\kappa} (-I)$, where, $I \propto \beta E…
Based on the $\kappa$-deformed functions ($\kappa$-exponential and $\kappa$-logarithm) and associated multiplication operation ($\kappa$-product) introduced by Kaniadakis (Phys. Rev. E \textbf{66} (2002) 056125), we present another…
In this paper we investigate extended inflation with an exponential potential $V(\sigma)= V_0 e^{-\kappa\sigma}$, which provides a simple cosmological scenario where the distribution of the constants of Nature is mostly determined by…
We analyze the data on personal income distribution from the Australian Bureau of Statistics. We compare fits of the data to the exponential, log-normal, and gamma distributions. The exponential function gives a good (albeit not perfect)…
We analyze the cumulative distribution of total personal income of USA counties, and gross domestic product of Brazilian, German and United Kingdom counties, and also of world countries. We verify that generalized exponential distributions,…
We present the data on wealth and income distributions in the United Kingdom, as well as on the income distributions in the individual states of the USA. In all of these data, we find that the great majority of population is described by an…
This paper proposes the k-generalized distribution as a model for describing the distribution and dispersion of income within a population. Formulas for the shape, moments and standard tools for inequality measurement - such as the Lorenz…
We have investigated the proof of the $H$ theorem within a manifestly covariant approach by considering the relativistic statistical theory developed in [Phy. Rev. E {\bf 66}, 056125, 2002; {\it ibid.} {\bf 72}, 036108 2005]. In our…
The main aim of this article is to characterize and investigate the three parameter exponentiated exponential Poisson probability distribution ${\rm EEP}(\alpha, \beta, \lambda)$ by giving explicit closed form expressions for its…
Here we show that a particular one-parameter generalization of the exponential function is suitable to unify most of the popular one-species discrete population dynamics models into a simple formula. A physical interpretation is given to…
The present paper is devoted to the relativistic statistical theory, introduced in Phys. Rev. E {\bf 66} (2002) 056125 and Phys. Rev. E {\bf 72} (2005) 036108, predicting the particle distribution function $p(E)= \exp_{\kappa}…
