We comment on letter ``Is Tsallis Thermodynamics Nonextensive?'' by E. Vives and A. Planes [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 020601 (2002) cond-mat/0106428]. It is pointed out that the Euler and Gibbs-Duhem equations derived in the letter can serve to…
We propose a generalized thermodynamics in which quasi-homogeneity of the thermodynamic potentials plays a fundamental role. This thermodynamic formalism arises from a generalization of the approach presented in paper [1], and it is based…
In the contact-geometric formulation of classical thermodynamics distinction is made between the energy and entropy representation, which can be resolved by taking homogeneous coordinates for the intensive variables. This results in a…
In this letter, we first redefine our formalism of the thermodynamic geometry introduced in [1,2] by changing coordinates of the thermodynamic space by means of Jacobian matrices. We then show that the geometrothermodynamics (GTD) is…
