Abstract

Nonequilibrium work relations such as Jarzynski equality and Crooks fluctuation theorem relate the free energy differences between two equilibrium states and the work distribution of nonequilibrium processes. We use the third constraint formulation of Tsallis statistics and derive the q-statistics generalization of nonequilibrium work relations.
