Dynamical Correlations as Origin of Nonextensive Entropy

arXiv:cond-mat/0406732 · doi:10.1209/epl/i2004-10506-9

Abstract

We present a simple and general argument showing that a class of dynamical correlations give rise to the so-called Tsallis nonextensive statistics. An example of a system having such a dynamics is given, exhibiting a non-Boltzmann energy distribution. A relation with prethermalization processes is discussed.
