Qualms regarding "Dynamical Foundations of Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics" by C. Beck (cond-mat/0105374)
B. H. Lavenda, J. Dunning-Davies
The derivation of Student's pdf from superstatistics is a mere coincidence due to the choice of the distribution for the inverse temperature which is actually the Maxwell dis…
Qualms concerning Tsallis' use of the maximum entropy formalism
B. H. Lavenda, J. Dunning-Davies
Tsallis' 'statistical thermodynamic' formulation of the nonadditive entropy of degree-αis neither correct nor self-consistent.
Qualms concerning Tsallis's condition of pseudo-additivity as a definition of non-extensivity
B. H. Lavenda, J. Dunning-Davies
The pseudo-additive relation that the Tsallis entropy satisfies has nothing whatsoever to do with the super- and sub- additivity properties of the entropy. The latter properties, l…
Qualms regarding "Superstatistics" by C. Beck and E. G. D. Cohen, Physica A 321 (2003) (cond-mat/0205097)
B. H. Lavenda, J. Dunning-Davies
There is neither motivation nor need to introduce 'superstatistics.'
Qualms regarding "Non-extensive Hamilton systems follow Boltzmann's principle no Tsallis statistics--phase transitions, second law of Thermodynamics" by D.H.E. Gross, Physica A, 305 (2002) 99
B. H. Lavenda, J. Dunning-Davies
A number of elementary misconceptions on the part of the author are corrected.
