Non-Additive Entropy Composition Rules Connected with Finite Heat-Bath Effects.

Published in: Entropy (Basel, Switzerland) (2022)

Mathematical generalizations of the additive Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy formula have been numerous since the 1960s. In this paper we seek an interpretation of the Rényi and Tsallis q-entropy formulas single parameter in terms of physical properties of a finite capacity heat-bath and fluctuations of temperature. Ideal gases of non-interacting particles are used as a demonstrating example.
