Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics

314 8 Final Comments and PerspectivesFig. 8.1 Systems A and B that will be put in thermal contact at a certain moment by allowing thecoupling constant l to become different from zero (see Eq. (8.4)). Here N = 5 (from [811]).Fig. 8.2 Time evolution of the temperatures of A and B. The initial conditions are water bag forboth A and B, at slightly different initial internal energies, hence slightly different initial temperatures.Here N = 10,000, and l is taken zero until the moment indicated with a green vertical line,and l = 0.1 after that moment (from [811]).
