Constantino Tsallis
Constantino Tsallis, Greek-born Brazilian physicist (Athens 05 November 1943 – ACHIEVEMENTS Regarded as one of the world’s most remarkable authorities on statistical physics (over 10, 000 citations) Created the non-extensive statistical mechanics and formulated q-entropy, a new definition of entropy (1988) Established the notion that entropic extensivity requires the use of the nonadditive entropy for some classes of systems Identified a set of numbers for a system described by nonextensive statistical mechanics the q-triplet (2004) With Levy enunciated the concept of thermal transmissivity, a transmissivity variable which extends for thermal magnetic systems (1981) With M.C.S. Vieira discovered the gap road to chaos, a discontinuous map with amplitude asymmetry (1987) With G.A. Tsekouras introduced spectral statistics (2005) Conjectured the break-collapse method, an operational procedure (1981) Formulated microeconomic models with international repercussion With A. Rodríguez introduced q-cumulants (2010) With G. Ruiz proposed a new universality class of one-dimensional unimodal dissipative maps (2009) Proposed escort mean values (or q-moments) to characterize probability densities with divergent moments (2009) With A.

Moyano & F. Baldovin showed that zeroth principle of thermodynamics applies to aging quasistationary states of long-range interacting, N-body Hamiltonian systems (2003) With M.L.

Oliveira first to establish quantitatively a relation between sensitivity to the initial conditions and relaxation (2002) With A.O. Caride presented a real space renormalisation groups procedure which directly yields the order parameter for all values of the external parameters (1998) With L. Borland & A.R. Plastino proposed a consistent test for measuring the degree of correlation between random variables (1998) With R.O. Vallejos, R.S.

Nobre first to exhibit that the thermodynamic limit is well defined for an interacting system (1995) With A.M.C. Souza & E.M.F. Curado introduced a coupled map lattice model to describe time evolution to relevant quantities associated with stock exchange (1995) With S.A.
