Duality in nonextensive statistical mechanics.
We revisit recent derivations of kinetic equations based on Tsallis' entropy concept. The method of kinetic functions is introduced as a standard tool for extensions of classical kinetic equations in the framework of Tsallis' statistical mechanics. Our analysis of the Boltzmann equation demonstrates a remarkable relation between thermodynamics and kinetics caused by the deformation of macroscopic observables.
