Nonextensive Thermostatistics and the H-Theorem

arXiv:cond-mat/0101030 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.2938

Abstract

The kinetic foundations of Tsallis' nonextensive thermostatistics are investigated through Boltzmann's transport equation approach. Our analysis follows from a nonextensive generalization of the ``molecular chaos hypothesis". For , the -transport equation satisfies an -theorem based on Tsallis entropy. It is also proved that the collisional equilibrium is given by Tsallis' -nonextensive velocity distribution.
