Geometrical aspects of a generalized statistical mechanics
M. Portesi, F. Pennini, A. Plastino
We discuss here the use of generalized forms of entropy, taken as information measures, to characterize phase transitions and critical behavior in thermodynamic systems. Our study…

Fisher information, Wehrl entropy, and Landau Diamagnetism
S. Curilef, F. Pennini, A. Plastino
Using information theoretic quantities like the Wehrl entropy and Fisher's information measure we study the thermodynamics of the problem leading to Landau's diamagnetism, namely,…

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…
