Many natural, artificial and social systems have been satisfactorily approached P q 1− i pi with nonadditive entropies such as the Sq = k q−1 one (q 2 R; S1 = SBG), basis of nonextensive statistical mechanics. Consistently, the Shannon 1948 and Khinchine 1953 uniqueness theorems have already been generalized in the literature, by Santos 1997 and Abe 2000 respectively, in order to uniquely mandate Sq. We argue here that the same remains to be done with the Shore and Johnson 1980 axioms.

  • Nanothermodynamics – a Generic Approach to Material Properties at Nanoscale
    Nanothermodynamics – A generic approach to material properties at nanoscale A. K. Rajagopal (1) , C. S. Pande (1) , and Sumiyoshi Abe (2) (1) Naval Research Laboratory, Washington D.C., 20375, USA (2) Institute of Physics, University of Tsukuba, Ibaraki 305-8571, Japan ABSTRACT Granular and nanoscale materials containing a relatively small number of constituents have been studied to discover how their properties differ from their macroscopic counterparts. These studies are designed to test how far the known macroscopic approaches such as thermodynamics may be applicable in these cases. A brief review of the recent literature on these topics is given as a motivation to introduce a generic approach called “Nanothermodynamics”. An important feature that must be incorporated into the theory is the non-additive property because of the importance of ‘surface’ contributions to the Physics of these systems. This is achieved by incorporating fluctuations into the theory right from the start. There are currently two approaches to incorporate this property: Hill (and further elaborated more recently with Chamberlin) initiated an approach by modifying the thermodynamic relations by taking into account the surface effects; the other generalizes Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics by relaxing the additivity properties of thermodynamic quantities to include nonextensive features of such systems. An outline of this generalization of the macroscopic thermodynamics to nano-systems will be given here. Invited presentation at the Indo-US Workshop on “Nanoscale

We find that the free energy, which is central to the determination of all other quantities, can be obtained uniquely numerically even when it is the root of a transcendental equation. In particular we study the cases of the Tsallis form and a new form proposed by us recently. We compare the free energy, the internal energy and the specific heat of a simple system of two energy states for each of these forms.

(Dated: June 26, 2018) In this work we present a thorough analysis of the phase transitions that occur in a ferromagnetic 2D Ising model, with only nearest-neighbors interactions, in the framework of the Tsallis nonextensive statistics. We performed Monte Carlo simulations on square lattices with linear sizes L ranging from 32 up to 512. The statistical weight of the Metropolis algorithm was changed according to the nonextensive statistics. Discontinuities in the m(T) curve are observed for q ≤ 0.5. However, we have verified only one peak on the energy histograms at the critical temperatures, indicating the occurrence of continuous phase transitions. For the 0.5 < q ≤ 1.0 regime, we have found continuous phase transitions between the ordered and the disordered phases, and determined the critical exponents via finite-size scaling. We verified that the critical exponents α, β and γ depend 2 on the entropic index q in the range 0.5 < q ≤ 1.0 in the form α(q) = (10 q − 33 q + 23)/20, β(q) = (2 q − 1)/8 and γ(q)=(q2 − q + 7)/4.

  • The Role of Entropy in the Development of Economics
    entropy Article The Role of Entropy in the Development of Economics Aleksander Jakimowicz Department of World Economy, Institute of Economics, Polish Academy of Sciences, Palace of Culture and Science, 1 Defilad Sq., 00-901 Warsaw, Poland; [email protected] Received: 25 February 2020; Accepted: 13 April 2020; Published: 16 April 2020 Abstract: The aim of this paper is to examine the role of thermodynamics, and in particular, entropy, for the development of economics within the last 150 years. The use of entropy has not only led to a significant increase in economic knowledge, but also to the emergence of such scientific disciplines as econophysics, complexity economics and quantum economics. Nowadays, an interesting phenomenon can be observed; namely, that rapid progress in economics is being made outside the mainstream. The first significant achievement was the emergence of entropy economics in the early 1970s, which introduced the second law of thermodynamics to considerations regarding production processes. In this way, not only was ecological economics born but also an entropy-based econometric approach developed. This paper shows that non-extensive cross-entropy econometrics is a valuable complement to traditional econometrics as it explains phenomena based on power-law probability distribution and enables econometric model estimation for non-ergodic ill-behaved (troublesome) inverse problems. Furthermore, the entropy economics has accelerated the emergence of modern econophysics and complexity economics. These new directions of research have led to many interesting discoveries that usually contradict the claims of conventional economics. Econophysics has questioned the efficient market hypothesis, while complexity economics has shown that markets and economies function best near the edge of chaos.

  • Extensive Statistical Mechanics Based on Nonadditive Entropy: Canonical
    Extensive statistical mechanics based on nonadditive entropy: Canonical ensemble A.S. Parvan Bogoliubov Laboratory of Theoretical Physics, Joint Institute for Nuclear Research, 141980 Dubna, Russia and Institute of Applied Physics, Moldova Academy of Sciences, MD-2028 Kishineu, Republic of Moldova The original canonical ensemble formalism for the nonextensive entropy thermostatistics is re- considered. It is shown that the unambiguous connection of the statistical mechanics with the equilibrium thermodynamics is provided if the entropic parameter 1/(q − 1) is an extensive variable of the state. Based on a particular example of the perfect gas, it is proved that the Tsallis thermo- statistics meets all the requirements of equilibrium thermodynamics in the thermodynamic limit. In particular, the entropy of the system is extensive and the temperature is intensive. However, for finite systems both the Tsallis and Boltzmann-Gibbs entropies are nonextensive. The equivalence of the canonical and microcanonical ensembles of Tsallis thermostatistics in the thermodynamic limit is established. The issue associated with physical interpretation of the entropic variable is discussed in detail. PACS numbers: 24.60. Ky, 25.70. Pq; 05.70.Jk I. INTRODUCTION The main purpose of this Letter is to establish a clear way to implement the equilibrium statistical mechanics based on the nonadditive entropy deferent from the usual Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical one. For the first time this concept was formulated by Tsallis in [1]. It is very well known that the conventional equilibrium statistical mechanics based on the Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy meets all the requirements of the equilibrium thermodynamics in the thermodynamic limit [2]. This is a necessary condition for self-consistent definition of any equilibrium statistical mechanics.

Abstract. – We present a simple and general argument showing that a class of dynamical correlations give rise to the so-called Tsallis nonextensive statistics. An example of a system having such a dynamics is given, exhibiting a non-Boltzmann energy distribution. A relation with prethermalization processes is discussed. Generalized statistics and correlations. – In the recent paper by Berges et al. [1], the au- thors show that the dynamics of a quantum scalar field exhibits a prethermalization behavior, where the thermodynamical relations become valid long before the real thermal equilibrium is attained. There, although the system is spatially homogeneous, the single-particle spectra are different from those determined by the usual Boltzmann equilibrium. This means that the validity of thermodynamics does not imply thermal equilibrium in the sense of Boltzmann. Such a situation has also long been claimed by Tsallis [2,3], who introduced the q-entropy, defined in terms of the occupation probabilities {pα} of the microstate α by q 1 − α pa Sq [{pα}]= , (1) q − 1 instead of the usual entropy S[{pα}]=− α pα ln pα.

The use of the celebrated Boltzmann-Gibbs entropy and statistical mechanics is justified for ergodic-like systems. In contrast, complex systems typically require more powerful theories. We will provide a brief introduction to nonadditive entropies (char- acterized by indices like q,which,intheq → 1 limit, recovers the standard Boltzmann- Gibbs entropy) and associated nonextensive statistical mechanics. We then present some recent applications to systems such as high-energy collisions, black holes and others. In addition to that, we clarify and illustrate the neat distinction that exists between Lévy distributions and q-exponential ones, a point which occasionally causes some confusion in the literature, very particularly in the LHC literature. 1 Introduction Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics constitutes one of the pillars of contemporary physics, together with Newtonian, quantum and relativistic mechanics, and Maxwell’s electromagnetism. Cen- tral points of any physical theory are when and why it works, and when and why it fails. This is so for any human intellectual construct, hence for the BG theory as well. We intend to briefly discuss here when we must (or must not) use the BG entropy W W 1 S = k p ln p = 1 , (1) BG i p i i=1 i i=1 where k is a constant (either taken equal to Boltzmann constant kB, or to unity).

This fact leads to modifications of some of thermodynamic relations for nonextensive systems. Here, taking the first law of thermodynamics and the Legendre transform structure as the basic premises, it is found that Clausius’ definition of the thermodynamic entropy has to be appropriately modified, and accordingly the thermodynamic relations proposed by Tsallis, Mendes and Plastino [Physica A 261 (1998) 534] are also to be rectified. It is shown that the definition of arXiv:cond-mat/0011012 v4 6 Jan 2001 specific heat and the equation of state remain form invariant. As an application, the classical gas model is reexamined and, in marked contrast with the previous result obtained by Abe [Phys. Lett. A 263 (1999) 424: Erratum A 267 (2000) 456] using the unphysical temperature and the unphysical pressure, the specific heat and the equation of state are found to be similar to those in ordinary extensive thermodynamics.
