The entropic pressure in the vicinity of a two dimensional square lattice polygon is examined as a model of the entropic pressure near a planar ring polymer. The scaling of the pressure as a function of distance from the polygon and length of the polygon is determined and tested numerically.

An updated review [1] of nonextensive statistical mechanics and thermodynamics is colloquially presented. Quite naturally the possibility emerges for using the value of q-1 (entropic nonextensivity) as a simple and efficient manner to provide, at lea st for some classes of systems, some characterization of the degree of what is currently referred to as complexity [2]. A few historical digressions are included as well.
Flory-Huggins theory is a mean field theory for modelling the free energy of dense polymer solutions and polymer melts. In this paper we use Flory-Huggins theory as a model of a dense two dimensional self-avoiding walk confined to a square in the squ are lattice. The theory describes the free energy of the walk well, and we estimate the Flory interaction parameter of the walk to be $chi_{saw} = 0.32(1)$.
We study the classical Toda lattice with domain wall initial conditions, for which left and right half lattice are in thermal equilibrium but with distinct parameters of pressure, mean velocity, and temperature. In the hydrodynamic regime the respect ive space-time profiles scale ballisticly. The particular case of interest is a jump from low to high pressure at uniform temperature and zero mean velocity. Thereby the scaling function for the average stretch (also free volume) is forced to change sign. By direct inspection, the hydrodynamic equations for the Toda lattice seem to be singular at zero stretch. In our contribution we report on numerical solutions and convincingly establish that nevertheless the self-similar solution exhibits smooth behavior.
A polymer chain pinned in space exerts a fluctuating force on the pin point in thermal equilibrium. The average of such fluctuating force is well understood from statistical mechanics as an entropic force, but little is known about the underlying for ce distribution. Here, we introduce two phase space sampling methods that can produce the equilibrium distribution of instantaneous forces exerted by a terminally pinned polymer. In these methods, both the positions and momenta of mass points representing a freely jointed chain are perturbed in accordance with the spatial constraints and the Boltzmann distribution of total energy. The constraint force for each conformation and momentum is calculated using Lagrangian dynamics. Using terminally pinned chains in space and on a surface, we show that the force distribution is highly asymmetric with both tensile and compressive forces. Most importantly, the mean of the distribution, which is equal to the entropic force, is not the most probable force even for long chains. Our work provides insights into the mechanistic origin of entropic forces, and an efficient computational tool for unbiased sampling of the phase space of a constrained system.

The aim of this focus letter is to present a comprehensive classification of the main entropic forms introduced in the last fifty years in the framework of statistical physics and information theory. Most of them can be grouped into three families, c haracterized by two-deformation parameters, introduced respectively by Sharma, Taneja, and Mittal (entropies of degree $(alpha,,beta$)), by Sharma and Mittal (entropies of order $(alpha,,beta)$), and by Hanel and Thurner (entropies of class $(c,,d)$). Many entropic forms examined will be characterized systematically by means of important concepts such as their axiomatic foundations {em `{a} la} Shannon-Khinchin and the consequent composability rule for statistically independent systems. Other critical aspects related to the Lesche stability of information measures and their consistency with the Shore-Johnson axioms will be briefly discussed on a general ground.
