Non-Extensivity of the Configurational Density Distribution in the Classical Microcanonical Ensemble
We show that the configurational probability distribution of a classical gas always belongs to the q-exponential family. One of the consequences of this observation is that the thermodynamics of the configurational subsystem is uniquely determined up to a scaling function. As an example we consider...
