The nonadditive entropy S q has been introduced in 1988 focusing on a generalization of
Boltzmann–Gibbs (BG) statistical mechanics. The aim was to cover a (possibly wide) class of …

Non-extensive statistical mechanics (or q-statistics) is based on the so-called non-additive
Tsallis entropy. Since its introduction by Tsallis, in 1988, as a generalization of the …

Metaphors, generalizations and unifications are natural and desirable ingredients of the
evolution of scientific theories and concepts. Physics, in particular, obviously walks along …

A systematic multi-parameter and multi-platform approach to study the slow process of
earthquake preparation is fundamental to gain some insights on this complex phenomenon …

Using the INGV (National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology) seismic catalogue,
nonextensive analysis of the instrumental seismicity of Italy was performed. The time span of …

Seismograms are the vital sources of information in seismic engineering. But, these records
are always contaminated with noise which has to be removed before using them in seismic …

Ultra low frequency-ULF (1 Hz or lower), kHz and MHz electromagnetic (EM) anomalies
were recorded prior to the L'Aquila catastrophic earthquake (EQ) that occurred on 6 April …

NOAA AVHRR images have clearly shown anomalous changes in land surface temperature
associated with earthquakes in the past two decades. Soon after the Gujarat earthquake of …

In this work, we analyze two important stochastic processes, the fractional Brownian motion
and fractional Gaussian noise, within the framework of the Tsallis permutation entropy. This …
