Jumping to Tsallis Distributions

The Tsallis probability distribution is equivalent to the classical Boltzmann distribution in the limit q 1. As shown numerically elsewhere/ for q 1 the Tsallis distribution broadens, overcoming energy barriers, and like high-temperature Boltzmann particle densities, the Tsallis distribution has maxima at the coordinates of potential minima. The Tsallis distribution can be used like high-temperature Boltzmann distributions if Tsallis configurations are accepted or rejected with probability
