In this new work, statistical mechanics is used to understand how different mathematical models "compete" when trying to explain a system. This matters because many scientific fields rely on ...

The statistical physics of graphs and partition functions represents a vibrant intersection of graph theory, statistical mechanics and computational complexity. By summing over an ensemble of ...

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