Modeling of systems with emergent behavior. The course has two components: (1) basic and intermediate statistical mechanics, and (2) application of the course methods to a case study, chosen from ...

Nonextensive statistical mechanics extends the conventional Boltzmann–Gibbs framework by incorporating a nonadditive entropy measure to describe systems characterised by long‐range interactions, ...

Statistical mechanics is the application of statistics, which includes mathematical tools for dealing with large populations, to the field of mechanics, which is concerned with the motion of particles ...

Statistical mechanics has long provided the theoretical bedrock for understanding phase transitions—sharp changes in the physical state of matter—and, more recently, the associated large deviations ...
