Entropy formula of N-body system

Statistical Mechanics 2020-11-10 v4

Abstract

We prove a proposition that the entropy of the system composed of finite NN molecules of ideal gas is the qq-entropy or Havrda-Charv\'at-Tsallis entropy, which is also known as Tsallis entropy, with the entropic index q=D(N1)4D(N1)2q=\frac{D(N-1)-4}{D(N-1)-2} in DD-dimensional space. The indispensable infinity assumption used by Boltzmann and others in their derivation of entropy formulae is not involved in our derivation, therefore our derived formula is exact. The analogy of the NN-body system brings us to obtain the entropic index of a combined system qCq_C formed from subsystems having different entropic indexes qAq_A and qBq_B as 11qC=11qA+11qB+D+22\frac{1}{1-q_C}=\frac{1}{1-q_A}+\frac{1}{1-q_B}+\frac{D+2}{2}. It is possible to use the number NN for the physical measure of deviation from Boltzmann entropy.
