The statistical-inference approach to generalized thermodynamics

II. - Thermodynamics

  • Published:
Il Nuovo Cimento B (1971-1996)

Summary

The thermodynamic implications of dispersion in finite sample sizes or small thermodynamic systems are investigated within the normal approximation to the Gibbs distribution.

Riassunto

Si studiano le implicazioni termodinamiche della dispersione in dimensioni finite del campione o in piccoli sistemi termodinamici entro l’approssimazione normale alla distribuzione di Gibbs.
