We derive and study quasicanonical Gibbs distribution function which is characterized by the thermostat with finite number of particles (quasithermostat). We show that this naturally leads to Tsallis nonextensive statistics and thermodynamics, with Tsallis parameter q is found to be related to the number of particles in the quasither-mostat. We show that the chi-square distribution of fluctuati...

Tsallis, Dynamical scenario for nonextensive statistical mechanics, Physica A 340 (2004) 1–10] is the best empirical quantifier of nonextensivity.

In this paper, we show that 1) additive energy is not appropriate for discussing the validity of Tsallis or Rényi statistics for nonextensive systems at equilibrium; 2) equilibrium N-body systems with nonad-ditive energy or entropy should be described by generalized statistics whose nature is prescribed by the existence of thermodynamic equilibrium. The nonextensive statistics may be Tsallis or...

The Boltzmann–Gibbs and Tsallis entropies are essential concepts in statistical physics, which have found multiple applications in many engineering and science areas. In particular, we focus our interest on their applications to image processing through information theory. We present in this article a novel numeric method to calculate the Tsallis entropic index q characteristic to a given image...

Kullback–Leibler relative-entropy has unique properties in cases involving distributions resulting from relative-entropy minimization. Tsallis relative-entropy is a one-parameter generalization of Kullback–Leibler relative-entropy in the nonextensive thermostatistics. In this paper, we present the properties of Tsallis relative-entropy minimization and present some differences with the classica...

The proper way of averaging is an important question with regards to Tsal-lis' Thermostatistics. Three different procedures have been thus far employed in the pertinent literature. The third one, i.e., the Tsallis-Mendes-Plastino (TMP) [1] normalization procedure, exhibits clear advantages with respect to earlier ones. In this work, we advance a distinct (from the TMP-one) way of handling the L...

It has been recently shown that the Bekenstein entropy bound is not respected by systems satisfying modified forms of Heisenberg uncertainty principle (HUP) including generalized and extended principles, or even their combinations. On other, use entropies, which differ from entropy, in describing gravity related topics signals us to different equipartition expressions compared usual one. In way...

The connection between Tsallis entropy for a multifractal distribution and Jackson’s q-derivative is established. Based on this derivation and definition of a homogeneous function, a q-analogue of Shannon’s entropy is discussed. q-additivity of this entropy is shown. We also define q-analogue of Kullback relative entropy. The implications of lattice structure beneath q-calculus are highlighted ...

This article investigates a novel automatic microcalcification detection method using a type II fuzzy index. The thresholding is performed using the Tsallis entropy characterized by another parameter ‘q’, which depends on the non-extensiveness of a mammogram. In previous studies, ‘q’ was calculated using the histogram distribution, which can lead to erroneous results when pectoral muscles are i...

It is demonstrated clearly that for the same classic generalized system the Tsallis power-laws with both the 1 > q and the 1 < q can be induced by the constraint of the constant harmonic mean for the so-called reciprocal energies r E and at the same time the Boltzmann distribution or the negative exponential probability distribution can be generated with the constraint of the constant arithmeti...
