“Lagrangian Temperature”: Derivation and Physical Meaning for Systems Described by Kappa Distributions

The paper studies the “Lagrangian temperature” defined through the entropy maximization in the canonical ensemble, which is the negative inverse Lagrangian multiplier corresponding to the constraint of internal energy. The Lagrangian temperature is derived for systems out of thermal equilibrium desc...
