Fluctuation of energy in the generalized thermostatistics

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We calculate the fluctuation of the energy of a system in Tsallis statistics following the finite heat bath canonical ensemble approach. We obtain this fluctuation as the second derivative of the logarithm of the partition function plus an additional term. We also find an explicit expression for the relative fluctuation as related to the number of degrees of freedom of the bath and the composite system.
