The role of constraints in Tsallis' nonextensive treatment revisited

Ferri, G.L.; Martínez, S.; Plastino, A. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 347 (2005) C, pp. 205-220

We revisit the nonextensive treatment advanced by Tsallis, et al. (Physica A 261 (1998) 534) in order to perform a rather exhaustive study of its properties and compare them with the earlier formalism devised by Curado and Tsallis (J. Phys. A 24 (1991) L69). Some interesting features are in this...

The analytical foundations of evolutionary economics: From biological analogy to economic self-organisation

In this paper, it is argued that the espousal of biological analogies by evolutionary economists cannot reveal the most important features of evolutionary change in economic processes. Analogies are used to best effect in the preliminary stages of research and in their normal linguistic role as...
