Nonextensive Thermostatistics and theHTheorem

Abstract: The kinetic foundations of Tsallis' nonextensive thermostatistics are investigated through Boltzmann's transport equation approach. Our analysis follows from a nonextensive generalization of the "molecular chaos hypothesis". For q > 0, the q-transport equation satisfies an H-theorem based on Tsallis entropy. It is also proved that the collisional equilibrium is given by Tsallis' q-nonextensive velocity distribution.PACS numbers: 05.45.+b; 05.20.-y; 05.90.+m In 1988 Tsallis proposed a striking generalization… Show more

“…(16). Let us note that a similar expression for the function h q was previously introduced in Ref.s [10] and a rigorous justification of the validity of the ansatz (53) can be found only by means of a microscopic analysis of the dynamics of correlations in nonextensive statistics.…”

“…Recently, Lima et al [2] (see also [3]) advanced an ad-hoc modification of the Stosszahlansatz, in order to derive a proof of the H-theorem, and to obtain the corresponding collisional equilibrium velocity distribution, within the framework of Tsallis' nonextensive thermostatistics [4]. In this paper, we show that there is no need of modifying the functional form of the molecular chaos hypothesis for accomplishing this task.…”
