Nonextensive statistical mechanics is now a rapidly growing field and a new stream in the
research of the foundations of statistical mechanics. This generalization of the well-known …

Boltzmann''s formula S= In [W (E)] defines the microcanonical ensemble. The usual
textbooks on statistical mechanics start with the microensemble but rather quickly switch to …
