In this context, a thermostatistic framework for active Nambu systems is proposed. The so-called free energy Fokker\u2013Planck equation approach is used to describe stochastic aspects of active Nambu systems. Different thermostatistic settings are considered that are characterized by appropriately-defined entropy measures, such as the Boltzmann\u2013Gibbs\u2013Shannon entropy and the Tsallis entropy. In general, the free energy Fokker\u2013Planck equations associated with these generalized entropy measures correspond to nonlinear partial differential equations. Irrespective of the entropy-related nonlinearities occurring in these nonlinear partial differential equations, it is shown that semi-analytical solutions for the stationary probability densities of the active Nambu systems can be obtained provided that the pumping mechanisms of the active systems assume the so-called canonical-dissipative form and depend explicitly only on Nambu invariants. Applications are presented both for purely-dissipative and for active systems illustrating that the proposed framework includes as a special case stochastic equilibrium systems.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e19010008","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,28]],"date-time":"2016-12-28T11:22:14Z","timestamp":1482924134000},"page":"8","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Active and Purely Dissipative Nambu Systems in General Thermostatistical Settings Described by Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations Involving Generalized Entropy Measures"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"T.","family":"Frank","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA"},{"name":"Department of Physics, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,12,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2405","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevD.7.2405","article-title":"Generalized Hamiltonian dynamics","volume":"7","author":"Nambu","year":"1973","journal-title":"Phys.
