Publisher: Springer Nature Switzerland AG
This book delves into the realm of nonextensive statistical mechanics, a contemporary generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics, which was conceived nearly 150 years ago by Maxwell, Boltzmann, and Gibbs. The BG theory, one of the greatest monuments of contemporary physics, has achieved remarkable success in physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computational sciences. Today, thousands of publications by scientists worldwide have been dedicated to its nonextensive generalization.
In recent years, the field has seen a surge of new results, all of which have been incorporated into this comprehensive second edition. The book has been extensively revised and updated, with new sections and figures added to enhance its usefulness. It serves as a valuable resource for students and researchers interested in complex systems and statistical physics.
A pedagogical introduction to the BG theory concepts and their generalizations is presented, including nonlinear dynamics, extensivity of the nonadditive entropy, global correlations, generalization of the standard CLTs, complex networks, and other relevant topics. Additionally, the book showcases a selection of paradigmatic applications in various sciences, accompanied by diverse experimental verifications of some of its predictions.
Designed with a clear and concise writing style, Introduction to Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics is suitable for students and researchers with an interest in complex systems and statistical physics. It provides a solid foundation for understanding the principles and applications of nonextensive statistical mechanics, paving the way for further research and exploration in this dynamic field.
