The domain of non-extensive thermostatistics has been subject to
intensive research over the past twenty years and has matured
significantly. Generalised Thermostatistics cuts through the
traditionalism of many statistical physics texts by offering a
fresh perspective and seeking to remove elements of doubt and
confusion surrounding the area. The book is divided into two parts
- the first covering topics from conventional statistical physics,
whilst adopting the perspective that statistical physics is
statistics applied to physics. The second developing the formalism
of non-extensive thermostatistics, of which the central role is
played by the notion of a deformed exponential family of
probability distributions. Presented in a clear, consistent, and
deductive manner, the book focuses on theory, part of which is
developed by the author himself, but also provides a number of
references towards application-based texts. Written by a leading
contributor in the field, this book will provide a useful tool for
learning about recent developments in generalized versions of
statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, especially with respect
to self-study. Written for researchers in theoretical physics,
mathematics and statistical mechanics, as well as graduates of
physics, mathematics or engineering. A prerequisite knowledge of
elementary notions of statistical physics and a substantial
mathematical background are required.
