Title: "About the Possible Unavoidability of the Generalization of
the Concept of Physical Entropy"
Abstract:
A quickly increasing set of theoretical and empirical evidences point
towards the unavoidable generalization of the entropic form which
connects the dynamics of the microscopic world with the macroscopic
one. We briefly review the physical motivations for such an
epistemological viewpoint, and present some of the recent advances in
the field.
