Exponential or Power Law? How to Select a Stable Distribution of Probability in a Physical System
A mapping of non-extensive statistical mechanics with non-additivity parameter q ≠ 1 into Gibbs’ statistical mechanics exists (E. Vives, A. Planes, PRL 88 2, 020601 (2002)) which allows generalization to q ≠ 1 both of Einstein’s formula ...
