- Description
- Based on a previously postulated entropy, that now becomes a particular case, we show that there exists an infinite set of entropies, with similar properties, that reduce in a common limit to the Boltzmann-Shannon form. The probabilities for the microcanonical ensemble and for the canonical ensemble are obtained. The method used to construct the set is quite simple and quite general and can be applied to generalizations of physical quantities and to other generalized entropies.
