Incomplete nonextensive statistics and zeroth law of thermodynamics

Statistical Mechanics 2007-05-23 v2

Abstract

We show that the zeroth law of thermodynamics holds within an alternative version of nonextensive statistical mechanics based on {\it incomplete probability distribution}. The generalized zeroth law leads to a generalized definition of thermodynamic functions which are possible to be used for systems with important nonextensivity (nonadditivity) in energy, volume or other external variables.
