We study the X-ray intensities of 142 light curves of cataclysmic variables, galaxies, pulsars, supernova remnants and other X-ray sources present in the public data collected by the instrument All Sky Monitor on board the satellite Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We show that the X-ray light...

A new Monte Carlo scheme based on the system of Tsallis’ generalized statistical mechanics is applied to a simple double well potential to calculate the canonical thermal average of potential energy. Although we observed serious quasi-ergodicity when using the standard Metropolis Monte Carlo...

In this study, we introduce a new nonlinear quantizer for image processing by using Tsallis entropy. Lloyd–Max quantizer is commonly used in minimizing the quantization errors. We report that the new introduced technique works better than Lloyd–Max one for selected standard images and could...

We briefly discuss the state of the art on the anomalous dynamics of the Hamiltonian mean field (HMF) model. We stress the important role of the initial conditions for understanding the microscopic nature of the intriguing metastable quasi-stationary states (QSS) observed in the model and the...

Tsallis’ nonadditive statistics was employed to determine rotational temperatures in low-temperature nonequilibrium molecular plasmas. The First Negative and Second Positive Systems of nitrogen were used as test cases with classical two-Boltzmann distributions that may be replaced successfully...

The general approach of a nonlinear Fokker–Planck equation is applied to investigate the behavior of main statistical moments of a stochastic system. It was shown that the system described by Tsallis statistics can undergo transitions inherent to multiplicative noise-induced transitions. The...

We describe in detail two numerical simulation methods valid to study systems whose thermostatistics is described by generalized entropies, such as Tsallis. The methods are useful for applications to non-trivial interacting systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, and both short- and...

We study the x-ray intensity variations obtained from the time series of 155 light curves of x-ray binary systems collected by the instrument All Sky Monitor on board the satellite Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. These intensity distributions are adequately fitted by q-Gaussian distributions which...

In a comparative study, the q-exponential and Weibull distributions are employed to investigate frequency distributions of basketball baskets, cyclone victims, brand-name drugs by retail sales, and highway length. In order to analyze the intermediate cases, a distribution, the q-Weibull one,...

The major factor that drives a protein toward collapse and folding is the hydrophobic effect. At the folding process a hydrophobic core is shielded by the solvent-accessible surface area of the protein. We study the fractal behavior of 5526 protein structures present in the Brookhaven Protein...
