I. Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics: Historical Background and Present Status

摘要: The domain of validity standard thermodynamics and Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics is focused on along a historical perspective. It then formally enlarged in order to hopefully cover variety anomalous systems. generalization concerns nonextensive systems, where nonextensivity understood the thermodynamical sense. This was first proposed 1988 inspired by probabilistic description multifractal geometry, has been intensively studied during this decade. In present effort, we describe formalism, discuss main ideas, exhibit status what theoretical, experimental computational evidences connections, as well some perspectives for future. whole review can be considered an attempt clarify our current understanding foundations its implications.
