Nature is full of random networks of complex topology describing such apparently disparate systems as biological, economical or informatical ones. Their most characteristic feature is the apparent scale-free character of interconnections between nodes. Using an information theory approach, we show that maximalization of information entropy leads to a wide spectrum of possible types of distributions including, in the case of nonextensive information entropy, the power-like scale-free distributions characteristic of complex systems.

  1. Black Hole Thermodynamics via Tsallis Statistical Mechanics and Phase Transitions Probed by Optical Characteristics

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Tsallis entropy for RN black holes produces three thermodynamic branches with mean-field phase transitions whose signatures appear in photon-sphere optical observables.

  2. Black Hole Thermodynamics via Tsallis Statistical Mechanics and Phase Transitions Probed by Optical Characteristics

    gr-qc 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Tsallis statistics applied to Reissner-Nordström black holes yields a generalized entropy leading to Van der Waals-like phase transitions whose critical behavior is reflected in photon-sphere observables.
