This is why statistical thermodynamics and Claude Shannon’s information theory are essentially the same theory: Shannon’s entropy, called information entropy, is a measure of how many states a system ...

Statistical mechanics provides the framework for deriving macroscopic thermodynamic properties from the microscopic characteristics of matter. Central to this discipline is the concept of entropy, ...

Kaniadakis statistics represents a significant extension of classical statistical mechanics. At its core is the concept of a κ-deformation, which generalises the traditional Boltzmann–Gibbs framework ...
