Superstatistical distributions from a maximum entropy principle
Erik Van der Straeten, Christian Beck
We deal with a generalized statistical description of nonequilibrium complex systems based on least biased distributions given some prior information. A maximum entropy principle i…
Residual entropy in a model for the unfolding of single polymer chains
Erik Van der Straeten, Jan Naudts
We study the unfolding of a single polymer chain due to an external force. We use a simplified model which allows to perform all calculations in closed form without assuming a Bolt…
Transition records of stationary Markov chains
Jan Naudts, Erik Van der Straeten
In any Markov chain with finite state space the distribution of transition records always belongs to the exponential family. This observation is used to prove a fluctuation theorem…
Grand canonical ensemble in generalized thermostatistics
Jan Naudts, Erik Van der Straeten
We study the grand-canonical ensemble with a fluctuating number of degrees of freedom in the context of generalized thermostatistics. Several choices of grand-canonical entropy fun…
