The consequence of this statement is twofold: 1) the relationships between the expectation values and the corresponding Lagrange multipliers still hold in the present formalism; 2) the universality of the Gibbs equation as well as other thermodynamic relations are unaffected by the structure of the average used in the theory.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-06-09T11:00:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "legendre transform", "kolmogorov-nagumo average", "consistency", "expectation values", "standard linear average" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "Elsevier" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
