Specifically, this kind of correlation turns the probability density function known as q-Gaussian, which emerges upon maximisation of the entropy Sq, into an attractor in probability space. Moreover, we also discuss a q-generalisation of a-stable Levy distributions which can as well be stable for this special kind of correlation.Within this context, we verify the emergence of a triplet of entropic indices which relate the form of the attractor, the correlation, and the scaling rate, similar to the q-triplet that connects the entropic indices characterising the sensitivity to initial conditions, the stationary state, and relaxation to the stationary state in anomalous systems.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-09-28T17:49:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "05.30.-d", "02.30.-f", "02.50.Cw" ], "keywords": [ "central limit theorem", "q-independent random variables", "nonextensive statistical mechanics", "convolution", "entropic indices" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "AIP", "journal": "AIP Conf.
