On multivariate generalizations of the q-central limit theorem consistent with nonextensive statistical mechanics

On multivariate generalizations of the q-central limit theorem consistent with nonextensive statistical mechanics

The standard central limit theorem plays a fundamental role in Boltzmann-Gibbs statistical mechanics. This important physical theory has been generalized \cite{Tsallis1988} in 1988 by using the entropy $S_q = \frac{1-\sum_i p_i^q}{q-1}$ (with $q \in \mathcal{R}$) instead of its particular BG case $S_1=S_{BG}= -\sum_i p_i \ln p_i$. The theory which emerges …
