In a recent paper [T. Wada, A.M. Scarfone, Phys. Lett. A 335 (2005) 351] the authors discussed the equivalence among the various probability distribution functions of a system in equilibrium in the Tsallis entropy framework. In the present letter we extend these results to a system which is out...

The pathway model of Mathai [A pathway to matrix-variate gamma and normal densities, Linear Algebra Appl. 396 (2005) 317–328] is shown to be inferable from the maximization of a certain generalized entropy measure. This entropy is a variant of the generalized entropy of order α, considered in...

We obtain new exact classes of solutions for the nonlinear fractional Fokker–Planck-like equation ∂tρ=∂x{D(x)∂μ−1xρν−F(x)ρ} by considering a diffusion coefficient D=D|x|−θ(θ∈R and D0) and a drift force F=−k1x+k̄γx|x|γ−1(k1,k̄γ,γ∈R). Connection with nonextensive...
