Nonextensive Thermostatistics and the H-Theorem
arXiv:cond-mat/0101030 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.86.2938
Abstract
The kinetic foundations of Tsallis' nonextensive thermostatistics are investigated through Boltzmann's transport equation approach. Our analysis follows from a nonextensive generalization of the ``molecular chaos hypothesis". For $q>0$, the $q$-transport equation satisfies an $H$-theorem based on Tsallis entropy. It is also proved that the collisional equilibrium is given by Tsallis' $q$-nonextensive velocity distribution.
