A mathematical procedure is suggested to obtain deformed entropy formulas of type K(S_K) = sum_i P_i K(-ln P_i), by requiring zero mutual K(S_K)-information between a finite subsystem and a finite reservoir. The use of this method is first demonstrated on the ideal gas equation of state with finite constant heat capacity, C, where it delivers the Renyi and Tsallis formulas. A novel interpretation of the qstar = 2-q duality arises from the comparison of canonical subsystem and total microcanonical partition approaches. Finally a new, generalized deformed entropy formula is constructed for the linear relation C(S) = C_0 + C_1 S.

To illustrate Boltzmanns construction of an entropy function that is defined for a single microstate of a system, we present here the simple example of the free expansion of a one dimensional gas of hard point particles. The construction requires one to define macrostates, corresponding to macroscopic observables. We discuss two different choices, both of which yield the thermodynamic entropy when the gas is in equilibrium. We show that during the free expansion process, both the entropies converge to the equilibrium value at long times. The rate of growth of entropy, for the two choice of macrostates, depends on the coarse graining used to define them, with different limiting behaviour as the coarse graining gets finer. We also find that for only one of the two choices is the entropy a monotonically increasing function of time. Our system is non-ergodic, non-chaotic and essentially non-interacting; our results thus illustrate that these concepts are not very relevant for the question of irreversibility and entropy increase. Rather, the notions of typicality, large numbers and coarse-graining are the important factors. We demonstrate these ideas through extensive simulations as well as analytic results.
The underlying connection between the degrees of freedom of a system and its nonextensive thermodynamic behavior is addressed. The problem is handled by starting from a thermodynamical system with fractal structure and its analytical reduction to a finite ideal gas. In the limit where the thermofractal has no internal structure, it is found that it reproduces the basic properties of a nonextensive ideal gas with a finite number of particles as recently discussed (Lima & Deppman, Phys. Rev. E 101, 040102(R) 2020). In particular, the entropic $q$-index is calculated in terms of the number of particles both for the nonrelativistic and relativistic cases. In light of such results, the possible nonadditivity or additivity of the entropic structures are also critically analysed and new expressions to the entropy (per particle) for a composed system of thermofractals and its limiting case are derived.
We conduct a rigorous investigation into the thermodynamic instability of ideal Bose gas confined in a cubic box, without assuming thermodynamic limit nor continuous approximation. Based on the exact expression of canonical partition function, we perform numerical computations up to the number of particles one million. We report that if the number of particles is equal to or greater than a certain critical value, which turns out to be 7616, the ideal Bose gas subject to Dirichlet boundary condition reveals a thermodynamic instability. Accordingly we demonstrate - for the first time - that, a system consisting of finite number of particles can exhibit a discontinuous phase transition featuring a genuine mathematical singularity, provided we keep not volume but pressure constant. The specific number, 7616 can be regarded as a characteristic number of cube that is the geometric shape of the box.
The virial expansion of a gas is a correction to the ideal gas law that is usually discussed in advanced courses in statistical mechanics. In this note we outline this derivation in a manner suitable for advanced undergraduate and introductory graduate classroom presentations. We introduce a physically meaningful interpretation of the virial expansion that has heretofore escaped attention, by showing that the virial series is actually an expansion in a parameter that is the ratio of the effective volume of a molecule to its mean volume. Using this interpretation we show why under normal conditions ordinary gases such as O_2 and N_2 can be regarded as ideal gases.
We find universal structure and scaling of BEC statistics and thermodynamics for mesoscopic canonical-ensemble ideal gas in a trap for any parameters, including critical region. We identify universal constraint-cut-off mechanism that makes BEC fluctuations non-Gaussian and is responsible for critical phenomena. Main result is analytical solution to problem of critical phenomena. It is derived by calculating universal distribution of noncondensate occupation (Landau function) and then universal functions for physical quantities. We find asymptotics of that solution and its approximations which describe universal structure of critical region in terms of parabolic cylinder or confluent hypergeometric functions. Results for order parameter, statistics, and thermodynamics match known asymptotics outside critical region. We suggest 2-level and 3-level trap models and find their exact solutions in terms of cut-off negative binomial distribution (that tends to cut-off gamma distribution in continuous limit) and confluent hypergeometric distribution. We introduce a regular refinement scheme for condensate statistics approximations on the basis of infrared universality of higher-order cumulants and method of superposition and show how to model BEC statistics in actual traps. We find that 3-level trap model with matching the first 4 or 5 cumulants is enough to yield remarkably accurate results in whole critical region. We derive exact multinomial expansion for noncondensate occupation distribution and find its high temperature asymptotics (Poisson distribution). We demonstrate that critical exponents and a few known terms of Taylor expansion of universal functions, calculated previously from fitting finite-size simulations within renorm-group theory, can be obtained from presented solutions.
