On generating kappa-like distribution functions using velocity space Levy flights

Abstract

A process is proposed that produces kappalike distributions, namely, Maxwellian at low velocities with a power-law tail at high velocities, as they converge towards Maxwellian. The power-law or Levy flight model and properties of the distribution function are discussed.
