Stochastic invertible mappings between power law and Gaussian probability distributions
C. Vignat, A. Plastino
We construct "stochastic mappings" between power law probability distributions (PD's) and Gaussian ones. To a given vector , Gaussian distributed (respectively , exponentiall…
The mutual co-implication of thermodynamics' first and second laws
A. Plastino, E. M. F. Curado
In classical phenomenological thermodynamics the first and second laws can be regarded as independent statements. Statistical mechanics provides a microscopic substratum that expla…
Thermodynamics' first law: what information theory tells us
S. Martinez, A. Plastino, B. H. Soffer
Thermodynamics, and in particular its first law, is of fundamental importance to Science, and therefore of great general interest to all physicists. The first law, although undoubt…
q-Thermodynamics: First law for quasi-stationary states
S. Martinez, A. Plastino
We discuss peculiar aspects of the first law of thermodynamics for systems characterized by the presence of meta-equilibrium quasi-stationary states for which the pertinent phase/c…
