Composable entropy and deviation from macroscopic equilibrium
arXiv:cond-mat/0404419 · doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2004.09.079
Abstract
We formulate, under general conditions, the problem of maximisation of the total entropy of the system, assumed to be in a composable form, for fixed total value of the constrained quantity. We derive the general form of the composability function and also point out the criterion which leads to a violation of the zeroth law of thermodynamics.
