MaxEnt and dynamical information
arXiv:1201.0889 · doi:10.1140/epjb/e2012-30009-3
Abstract
The MaxEnt solutions are shown to display a variety of behaviors (beyond the traditional and customary exponential one) if adequate dynamical information is inserted into the concomitant entropic-variational principle. In particular, we show both theoretically and numerically that power laws and power laws with exponential cut-offs emerge as equilibrium densities in proportional and other dynamics.
