Abstract
In a recent paper [Int. J. Mod. Phys. B {\bf 14}, 405 (2000)] we discussed the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the framework of Tsallis's nonextensive statistical mechanics. In particular, we studied an ideal gas of bosons in a confining harmonic potential. In this memoir we generalize our previous analysis by investigating an ideal Bose gas in a generic power-law external potential. We derive analytical formulas for the energy of the system, the BEC transition temperature and the condensed fraction.
