Specific heat and entropy of $N$-body nonextensive systems
Abstract
We have studied finite -body -dimensional nonextensive ideal gases and harmonic oscillators, by using the maximum-entropy methods with the - and normal averages (: the entropic index). The validity range, specific heat and Tsallis entropy obtained by the two average methods are compared. Validity ranges of the - and normal averages are and , respectively, where , and () for ideal gases (harmonic oscillators). The energy and specific heat in the - and normal averages coincide with those in the Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics, % independently of , although this coincidence does not hold for the fluctuation of energy. The Tsallis entropy for obtained by the -average is quite different from that derived by the normal average, despite a fairly good agreement of the two results for . It has been pointed out that first-principles approaches previously proposed in the superstatistics yield -body entropy () which is in contrast with the Tsallis entropy.
