There is no compelling reason imposing that the methods of statistical mechanics should be
restricted to the dynamical systems which follow the usual Boltzmann–Gibbs prescriptions …

Metaphors, generalizations and unifications are natural and desirable ingredients of the
evolution of scientific theories and concepts. Physics, in particular, obviously walks along …

The nonextensive statistical mechanics proposed by Tsallis is today an intense and growing
research field. Probability distributions which emerges from the nonextensive formalism (q …

Empirically derived kappa distributions are becoming increasingly widespread in space
physics as the power law nature of various suprathermal tails is melded with more classical …

The domain of non-extensive thermostatistics has been subject to intensive research over
the past twenty years and has matured significantly. Generalised Thermostatistics cuts …

In this paper the Zipf–Mandelbrot law is revisited in the context of linguistics. Despite its
widespread popularity the Zipf–Mandelbrot law can only describe the statistical behaviour of …

The domain of validity of standard thermodynamics and Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical
mechanics is focused on along a historical perspective. It is then formally enlarged in order …

An updated review (corresponding to the inaugural talk delivered at the The International
Workshop on Classical and Quantum Complexity and Nonextensive Thermodynamics …

In a recent paper, Saxena et al.(Astro Phys. Space Sci. 282 (2002) 281) developed solutions
of generalized fractional kinetic equations in terms of Mittag–Leffler functions. The object of …

Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics is based on the entropy S_\rmBG=-ki=1^Wp_i\lnp_i.
It enables a successful thermal approach to ubiquitous systems, such as those involving …
