Using Harmonic Mean to Replace Tsallis' q-Average

arXiv:1002.4254

Abstract

In this paper, a unified mathematical expression for the constraints leading to the equilibrium distributions of both extensive and non-extensive systems is presented. Based on this expression, a recommendation is made to replace Tsallis' q-average without obvious physical meaning with the statistical harmonic mean for a generalized system.
