Abstract

Finite heat reservoir capacity, C, and temperature fluctuation, ∆T /T , lead to modifications of the well known canonical exponential weight factor. Requiring that the corrections least depend on the one-particle energy, ω, we derive a deformed entropy, K(S). The resulting formula contains the Boltzmann – Gibbs, Rényi, and Tsallis formulas as particular cases. For extreme large fluctuations, in the limit C∆T 2/T 2 → ∞, a new parameter-free entropy – probability relation is gained. The corresponding canonical energy distribution is nearly Boltzmannian for high probability, but for low probability approaches the cumulative Gompertz distribution. The latter is met in several phenomena, like earthquakes, demography, tumor growth models, extreme value probability, etc.
