- Title
A generalized entropy optimization and Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution.
- Authors
Mathai, Arak M.; Haubold, Hans J.
- Abstract
Based on the results of the diffusion entropy analysis of Super-Kamiokande solar neutrino data, a generalized entropy, introduced earlier by the first author is optimized under various conditions and it is shown that Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, Raleigh distribution and other distributions can be obtained through such optimization procedures. Some properties of the entropy measure are examined and then Maxwell-Boltzmann and Raleigh densities are extended to multivariate cases. Connections to geometrical probability problems, isotropic random points, and spherically symmetric and elliptically contoured statistical distributions are pointed out.
