X Abstract

We show that the emergence of a non-Poisson distribution might have different physical origins. We study two distinct ways to generate a non-Poisson distribution, the first from within the renewal theory, and the second based on infinitely slow modulation, a condition that makes this second perspective equivalent to superstatistics. We prove that these different origins yield different physical effects, aging in the former case, and no aging in the latter.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
