“…The statistical mechanics of non-extensive systems is still considered an open problem [1,2]. On the one hand, many studies in the past three decades have addressed the issue of generalizations of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]. These studies typically assume a non-logarithmic entropy, leading to power law distributions (e.g., Zipf-Mandelbrot distributions [6,7,8]) instead of exponential distributions of energy.…”
