Stationary distribution functions for Tokamak-plasmas in the weak-collisional transport regime by MaxEnt principle
Giorgio Sonnino, Philippe Peeters, Alberto Sonnino +2
In previous works, we derived stationary density distribution functions (DDF) where the local equilibrium is determined by imposing the maximum entropy (MaxEnt) principle, under th…
New Class of Generalized Extensive Entropies for Studying Dynamical Systems in Highly Anisotropic Phase Space
Giorgio Sonnino, György Steinbrecher
Starting from the geometrical interpretation of the Rényi entropy, we introduce further extensive generalizations and study their properties. In particular, we found the probabilit…
Derivation of Reference Distribution Functions for Tokamak-plasmas by Statistical Thermodynamics
Giorgio Sonnino, Alessandro Cardinali, Philippe Peeters +2
A general approach for deriving the expression of reference distribution functions by statistical thermodynamics is illustrated, and applied to the case of a magnetically confined…
Family of Probability Distributions Derived from Maximal Entropy Principle with Scale Invariant Restrictions
Giorgio Sonnino, György Steinbrecher, Alessandro Cardinali +2
Using statistical thermodynamics, we derive a general expression of the stationary probability distribution for thermodynamic systems driven out of equilibrium by several thermodyn…
