This relation can be generalized by introducing a proportionality factor involving an increasing positive function phi(x). It is shown that this assumption leads to an equilibrium distribution of the Boltzmann-Gibbs form with the exponential function replaced by a deformed exponential function. In this way one obtains a formalism of generalized thermostatistics introduced previously by the author. It is shown that Tsallis' thermostatistics, with a slight modification, is the most obvious example of this formalism and corresponds with the choice phi(x)=x^q.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-11-19T08:49:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "generalized thermostatistics", "logarithmic functions", "equipartition theorem states", "inverse temperature equals", "deformed exponential function" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physica A Statistical Mechanics and its Applications", "year": 2004, "month": "Sep", "volume": 340, "number": 1, "pages": 32 }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004PhyA..340...32N" } } }
