In this article, the authors present a geometric argument that explains why some systems having vanishing largest Lyapunov exponent have underlying dynamic aspects which can be effectively described by the Tsallis entropy.
Abstract
We present a geometric argument that explains why some systems having vanishing largest Lyapunov exponent have underlying dynamic aspects which can be effectively described by the Tsallis entropy. We rely on a comparison of the generalised additivity of the Tsallis entropy versus the ordinary additivity of the BGS entropy. We translate this comparison, in metric terms, by using an effective hyperbolic metric on the configuration/phase space for the Tsallis entropy versus the Euclidean one in the case of the BGS entropy. Solving the Jacobi equation for such hyperbolic metrics effectively sets the largest Lyapunov exponent computed, with respect to the corresponding Euclidean metric, to zero. This conclusion is in agreement with all currently known results on systems that have a simple asymptotic behaviour, and are described by the Tsallis entropy.

TL;DR: In this paper, the deterministic chaotic behavior and dynamical complexity of the space plasma dynamical system over Nigeria are analyzed and characterized using GPS (Global Positioning System) TEC (Total Electron Content) time series, measured in the year 2011 at three GPS receiver stations within Nigeria, which lies within the equatorial ionization anomaly region.

Possible generalization of Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics

TL;DR: In this paper, a generalized form of entropy was proposed for the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics with the q→1 limit, and the main properties associated with this entropy were established, particularly those corresponding to the microcanonical and canonical ensembles.
