A Maxwellian Path to the q-Nonextensive Velocity Distribution Function
R. Silva, A. R. Plastino, J. A. S. Lima
Maxwell's first derivation of the equilibrium distribution function for a dilute gas is generalized in the spirit of the nonextensive q-statistics proposed by Tsallis. As an applic…

Jeans' gravitational instability and nonextensive kinetic theory
J. A. S. Lima, R. Silva, J. Santos
The concept of Jeans gravitational instability is rediscussed in the framework of nonextensive statistics and its associated kinetic theory. A simple analytical formula generalizin…

Nonextensive Thermostatistics and the H-Theorem
J. A. S. Lima, R. Silva, A. R. Plastino
The kinetic foundations of Tsallis' nonextensive thermostatistics are investigated through Boltzmann's transport equation approach. Our analysis follows from a nonextensive general…
