Nonextensive Statistics: Theoretical, Experimental and Computational Evidences and Connections
نویسنده
چکیده
The domain of validity of standard thermodynamics and Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics is discussed and then formally enlarged in order to hopefully cover a variety of anomalous systems. The generalization concerns nonextensive systems, where nonextensivity is understood in the thermody-namical sense. This generalization was first proposed in 1988 inspired by the probabilistic description of multifractal geometries, and has been intensively studied during this decade. In the present effort, after introducing some historical background, we briefly describe the formalism, and then exhibit the present status in what concerns theoretical, experimental and computational evidences and connections, as well as some perspectives for the future. In addition to these, here and there we point out various (possibly!) relevant questions, whose answer would certainly clarify our current understanding of the foundations of statistical mechanics and its thermodynamical implications .

متن کاملNonextensive quantum statistics and saturation of the PMD-SQS optimality limit in hadron-hadron scattering
In this paper, new results on the analysis in hadron-hadron scattering (πN , KN , KN , etc) are obtained by using the nonextensive quantum entropy and principle of minimum distance in the space of quantum states (PMD-SQS). So, using [SJ (p), Sθ(q), SJθ(p), SJθ(p, q)]-Tsallis-like scattering entropies, the optimality as well as the nonextensive statistical behavior of the [J and θ]-quantum syste...
متن کاملOn the small-scale statistics of Lagrangian turbulence
We provide evidence that the small-scale statistics of the acceleration of a test particle in high-Reynolds number Lagrangian turbulence is correctly described by Tsallis statistics with entropic index q = 3 2 . We present theoretical arguments why Tsallis statistics can naturally arise in Lagrangian turbulence and why at the smallest scales q = 32 is relevant. A generalized Heisenberg-Yaglom f...
متن کاملExperimental Mathematics and Computational Statistics
The field of statistics has long been noted for techniques to detect patterns and regularities in numerical data. In this article we explore connections between statistics and the emerging field of “experimental mathematics.” These includes both applications of experimental mathematics in statistics, as well as statistical methods applied to computational mathematics.
متن کاملInteracting Many-Investor Models, Opinion Formation and Price Formation with Non-extensive Statistics
We seek to utilize the nonextensive statistics to the microscopic modeling of the interacting many-investor dynamics that drive the price changes in a market. The statistics of price changes are known to be fit well by the Students-T and power-law distributions of the nonextensive statistics. We therefore derive models of interacting investors that are based on the nonextensive statistics and w...
