TLDR
In this article, the Boltzmann-Gibbs Statistical Mechanics (BSM) theory is generalized to nonextensive statistical mechanics and applied in thermodynamic and non-thermodynamic applications.Abstract:

Entropy
TL;DR: The concept of entropy constitutes, together with energy, a cornerstone of contemporary physics and related areas as discussed by the authors , and it was originally introduced by Clausius in 1865 along abstract lines focusing on thermodynamical irreversibility of macroscopic physical processes.

Physical approach to complex systems
TL;DR: This review advocate some of the computational methods which in this opinion are especially fruitful in extracting information on selected–but at the same time most representative–complex systems like human brain, financial markets and natural language, from the time series representing the observables associated with these systems.

Black hole thermodynamical entropy
TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) entropy was introduced for the Schwarzschild black hole and the area law, which can solve the thermodynamic puzzle.

Beyond kappa distributions: Exploiting Tsallis statistical mechanics in space plasmas
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined how kappa distributions arise naturally from Tsallis statistical mechanics, and provided a solid theoretical basis for describing and analyzing complex systems out of equilibrium.

Nonadditive entropy and nonextensive statistical mechanics - An overview after 20 years
TL;DR: A generalization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics was proposed in 1988 as discussed by the authors, with the aim of applying it to the case of probability theory.
