The adiabatic static linear response function in nonextensive statistical mechanics

Duality in nonextensive statistical mechanics.

We revisit recent derivations of kinetic equations based on Tsallis' entropy concept. The method of kinetic functions is introduced as a standard tool for extensions of classical kinetic equations in the framework of Tsallis' statistical mechanics. Our analysis of the Boltzmann equation demonstrates a remarkable relation between thermodynamics and kinetics caused by the deformation of macroscop...

Nonextensive statistical mechanics and economics

Ergodicity, this is to say, dynamics whose time averages coincide with ensemble averages, naturally leads to Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics, hence to standard thermodynamics. This formalism has been at the basis of an enormous success in describing, among others, the particular stationary state corresponding to thermal equilibrium. There are, however, vast classes of complex systems...

Introduction to Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics

Trace inequalities in nonextensive statistical mechanics

In this short paper, we establish a variational expression of the Tsallis relative entropy. In addition, we derive a generalized thermodynamic inequality and a generalized Peierls-Bogoliubov inequality. Finally we give a generalized Golden-Thompson inequality.

Some Open Points in Nonextensive Statistical mechanics

Statistical mechanics is one of the pillars of contemporary physics. Indeed, it provides in principle the link between the microscopic and the macroscopic description and understanding of the world through a rich variety of mesoscopic instances. More precisely, starting from mechanics (classical, quantum, relativistic) and electromagnetism, it incorporates appropriate concepts of the theory of ...
