Cover Story: The superstatistics theory was introduced at the beginning of this century by C. Beck and E. G. D. Cohen, in order to approach a complex system constituted by patches, such that each patch is characterized by a Boltzmann–Gibbs (BG) statistic with particular intensive parameters. Since then, the superstatistical approach has been used to describe numerous complex systems; among the applications is the characterization of diffusion in a heterogeneous environment, whose diffusivities are randomly distributed. In this scenario, we applied analytical and simulation approaches to explore the log-normal superstatistics for Brownian motion with random diffusivity; among the results, we show that the log-superstatistics imply a rich class of the non-Gaussian process that may admit normal or anomalous diffusion.

A technique devised some years ago permits us to develop a theory regarding a regime of strong perturbations. This translates into a gradient expansion that, at the leading order, can recover the Belinsky-Kalathnikov-Lifshitz solution for general rel...

A standard criterium in statistics is to define an optimal estimator as the one with the minimum variance. Thus, the optimality is proved with inequality among variances of competing estimators. The demonstrations of inequalities among estimators are...

The quantum harmonic oscillator is a fundamental piece of physics. In this paper, we present a self-contained full-fledged analytical solution to the quantum harmonic oscillator. To this end, we use an eight-step procedure that only uses standard mat...

Since the pioneering works of Newton (1643–1727), mechanics has been constantly reinventing itself: reformulated in particular by Lagrange (1736–1813) then Hamilton (1805–1865), it now offers powerful conceptual and mathematical too...
