Tsallis Entropy and the Vlasov - Poisson Equations

چکیده

We revisit Tsallis Maximum Entropy Solutions to the Vlasov-Poisson Equation describing gravitational N -body systems. We review their main characteristics and discuss their relationship with other applications of Tsallis statistics to systems with long range interactions. In the following considerations we shall be dealing with a D-dimensional space so as to be in a position to investigate possible dimensional dependences of Tsallis' parameter q. The particular and important case of the Schuster solution is studied in detail, and the pertinent Tsallis parameter q is given as a function of the space dimension. In the special case of three dimensional space we recover the value q = 7=9, that has already appeared in many applications of Tsallis' formalism involving long range forces.

Tsallis Entropy and Conditional Tsallis Entropy of Fuzzy Partitions

The purpose of this study is to define the concepts of Tsallis entropy and conditional Tsallis entropy of fuzzy partitions and to obtain some results concerning this kind entropy. We show that the Tsallis entropy of fuzzy partitions has the subadditivity and concavity properties. We study this information measure under the refinement and zero mode subset relations. We check the chain rules for ...

Generalized thermodynamics and kinetic equations: Boltzmann, Landau, Kramers and Smoluchowski

We propose a formal extension of thermodynamics and kinetic theories to a larger class of entropy functionals. Kinetic equations associated to Boltzmann, Fermi, Bose and Tsallis entropies are recovered as a special case. This formalism first provides a unifying description of classical and quantum kinetic theories. On the other hand, a generalized thermodynamical framework is justified to descr...

Dynamics and thermodynamics of systems with long-range interactions: interpretation of the different functionals

We discuss the dynamics and thermodynamics of systems with weak long-range interactions. Generically, these systems experience a violent collisionless relaxation in the Vlasov regime leading to a (usually) non-Boltzmannian quasi stationary state (QSS), followed by a slow collisional relaxation leading to the Boltzmann statistical equilibrium state. These two regimes can be explained by a kineti...

A Preferred Definition of Conditional Rényi Entropy

The Rényi entropy is a generalization of Shannon entropy to a one-parameter family of entropies. Tsallis entropy too is a generalization of Shannon entropy. The measure for Tsallis entropy is non-logarithmic. After the introduction of Shannon entropy , the conditional Shannon entropy was derived and its properties became known. Also, for Tsallis entropy, the conditional entropy was introduced a...

Boundary Value Problems for the Stationary Vlasov-Boltzmann-Poisson Equation

We investigate the well posedness of stationary Vlasov-Boltzmann equations both in the simpler case of linear problem with a space varying force field and a collisional integral satisfying the detailed balanced principle with a non-singular scattering function, and, the non-linear Vlasov-Poisson-Boltzmann system. For the former we obtain existence-uniqueness results for arbitrarily large integr...
