Thermodynamics of means
B. H. Lavenda
Thermodynamics of power means applies to an ideal quantum gas which may be nonextensive. Transition to an ideal classical gas occurs when the empirical temperature exponents of the…
Fundamental inconsistencies of 'superstatistics'
B. H. Lavenda
Fundamental inconsistencies of superstatistics are highlighted. There is no such thing as a superposition of Boltzmann factors; what is actually derived is a generating function an…
Qualms regarding "Dynamical Foundations of Nonextensive Statistical Mechanics" by C. Beck (cond-mat/0105374)
B. H. Lavenda, J. Dunning-Davies
The derivation of Student's pdf from superstatistics is a mere coincidence due to the choice of the distribution for the inverse temperature which is actually the Maxwell dis…
Qualms concerning Tsallis' use of the maximum entropy formalism
B. H. Lavenda, J. Dunning-Davies
Tsallis' 'statistical thermodynamic' formulation of the nonadditive entropy of degree-αis neither correct nor self-consistent.
Qualms concerning Tsallis's condition of pseudo-additivity as a definition of non-extensivity
B. H. Lavenda, J. Dunning-Davies
The pseudo-additive relation that the Tsallis entropy satisfies has nothing whatsoever to do with the super- and sub- additivity properties of the entropy. The latter properties, l…
Qualms regarding "Superstatistics" by C. Beck and E. G. D. Cohen, Physica A 321 (2003) (cond-mat/0205097)
B. H. Lavenda, J. Dunning-Davies
There is neither motivation nor need to introduce 'superstatistics.'
