Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v3

Abstract

We consider the self-similar phase space with reduced fractal dimension dd being distributed within domain 0<d<10<d<1 with spectrum f(d)f(d). Related thermostatistics is shown to be governed by the Tsallis' formalism of the non-extensive statistics, where role of the non-additivity parameter plays inverted value τˉ(q)1/τ(q)>1{\bar\tau}(q)\equiv 1/\tau(q)>1 of the multifractal function τ(q)=qd(q)f(d(q))\tau(q)= qd(q)-f(d(q)), being the specific heat, q(1,)q\in(1,\infty) is multifractal parameter. In this way, the equipartition law is shown to take place. Optimization of the multifractal spectrum f(d)f(d) derives the relation between the statistical weight and the system complexity.
