Generalized statistical mechanics for superstatistical systems
arXiv:1007.0903 · doi:10.1098/rsta.2010.0280
Abstract
Mesoscopic systems in a slowly fluctuating environment are often well described by superstatistical models. We develop a generalized statistical mechanics formalism for superstatistical systems, by mapping the superstatistical complex system onto a system of ordinary statistical mechanics with modified energy levels. We also briefly review recent examples of applications of the superstatistics concept for three very different subject areas, namely train delay statistics, turbulent tracer dynamics, and cancer survival statistics.
