Generalizing the Extensive Postulates
Abstract
Description
We addressed the problem of generalizing the extensive postulates of the standard thermodynamics in order to extend it to the study of nonextensive systems. We did it in analogy with the traditional analysis, starting from the microcanonical ensemble, but this time, considering its equivalence with some generalized canonical ensemble in the thermodynamic limit by means of the scaling properties of the fundamental physical observables.
