Non-unique way to generalize the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
Alternative definitions are given of basic concepts of generalized thermostatistics. In particular, generalizations of Shannon’s entropy, of the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution, and of relative entropy are considered. Particular choices made in Tsallis’ nonextensive thermostatistics are questioned.

Generalized thermostatistics and mean-field theory
The present paper studies a large class of temperature-dependent probability distributions and shows that entropy and energy can be defined in such a way that these probability distributions are the equilibrium states of a generalized thermostatistics, which is obtained from the standard formalism by deformation of exponential and logarithmic functions. Since this procedure is non-unique, speci...
متن کاملDeep Generative Stochastic Networks Trainable by Backprop
We introduce a novel training principle for probabilistic models that is an alternative to maximum likelihood. The proposed Generative Stochastic Networks (GSN) framework is based on learning the transition operator of a Markov chain whose stationary distribution estimates the data distribution. The transition distribution of the Markov chain is conditional on the previous state, generally invo...
متن کاملBoltzmann machines and energy-based models
We review Boltzmann machines and energy-based models. A Boltzmann machine defines a probability distribution over binary-valued patterns. One can learn parameters of a Boltzmann machine via gradient based approaches in a way that log likelihood of data is increased. The gradient and Laplacian of a Boltzmann machine admit beautiful mathematical representations, although computing them is in gene...
متن کاملUnique Additive Information Measures- Boltzmann-gibbs-shannon, Fisher and Beyond
It is proved that the only additive and isotropic information measure that can depend on the probability distribution and also on its first derivative is a linear combination of the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon and Fisher information measures. Further possibilities are investigated, too.
متن کاملGeneralized Evolutionary Algorithm based on Tsallis Statistics
Generalized evolutionary algorithm based on Tsallis canonical distribution is proposed. The algorithm uses Tsallis generalized canonical distribution to weigh the configurations for ‘selection’ instead of Gibbs-Boltzmann distribution. Our simulation results show that for an appropriate choice of non-extensive index that is offered by Tsallis statistics, evolutionary algorithms based on this gen...
