Generalized entropies from first principles

  • Almeida, M.P.

Abstract

A derivation of power law canonical distributions from first principle statistical mechanics, including the exponential distribution as a particular case is presented. It is shown that these distributions arise naturally, and that the heat capacity of the heat bath is the condition that determines its type. As a consequence, a physical interpretation for the parameter q of the generalized entropy is given.
