Basic considerations and general postulates 5.03.2018 BLTP seminar 7
Existence of the function entropy The state of a homogeneous system, defined by the extensive parameters (?,?). Reversible, adiabatic processes The entropy variation ? is a measure of the irreversibility of the process ? This formalism is rigorously defined only for macroscopic systems. 5.03.2018 BLTP seminar 8
Tisza-Callen postulates of thermodynamics Postulate 1 (existence of equilibrium states): Any isolated system has equilibrium states that are characterized by a small number of extensive variables ?,? . Postulate 2 (existence of entropy): There exists a function (called entropy ?) of the extensive parameters, defined for all equilibrium states and having the following property. The values assumed by the extensive parameters in the absence of a constraint are those that maximize the entropy over the manifold of constrained equilibrium states. This postulate is an expression of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. Postulate 3 (additivity and differentiability of ?): The entropy of a composite system is additive over the constituent subsystems (whence the entropy of each constituent system is a homogeneous first order function of the extensive parameters). The entropy is continuous and differentiable. The observer appears the anthropomorphism of the entropy (Jaynes, Am. J. Phys. 33, 391, 1965). Macroscopic systems 5.03.2018 BLTP seminar 9

The average value of any physical quantity ? is ? ???? ? Usually, the microstates are eigenstates of the Hamiltonian 5.03.2018 BLTP seminar 12

Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shanon-Rnyi entropy ???is also called the amount of uncertainty concerning the outcome of an experiment. ???is the unique quantity (up to a multiplicative constant) that satisfies the postulates (A. R nyi, 4th Berkeley Symposium 1, 547, 1961; D. K. Fadeev, Arbeiten zur Informationstheorie I, 1957). a. ??? ?? is a symmetric function in its variables. b. ????,1 ? is a continuous function of ? for 0 ? 1. 1 2,1 c. ??? = 1 2 d. ?????1, 1 ? ?1,?2, ,?? = ????1,?2, ,?? + ?1????,1 ? 5.03.2018 BLTP seminar 14

Three methods to find the equilibrium properties of compound systems 5.03.2018 BLTP seminar 20
Two systems in contact: Method 1 1 System 1: ?1,?1, 1?1,?1,?? System 2: ?2,?2, 2?2,?2,?? System 1 + 2 : ??= ?1+ ?2,?1,?2, 1+2,M1??,?1,?2, ?1,?1 = 1/ 1?1,?1 2 ?2,?2 = 1/ 2?2,?2 If the system 1 + 2 is completely isolated, we don t know anything about the evolution towards equilibrium. This is the end of the story. 1+2 M1??,?1,?2 = 1/ 1+2,M1??,?1,?2 ??? 1+2,M1??,?1,?2 = 1?1,?1 2?? ?1,?2 ?1 1+2 M1??,?1,?2 ?1+2,M1??,?1,?2 ? ??? 5.03.2018 BLTP seminar 21
1. The description of systems 1 and 2 remains in terms of the whole number of states, 1?1,?1 and 2?2,?2--we don t observe their internal equilibrium Method 1 continuation Postulate 2 (reminder): The values assumed by the extensive parameters in the absence of a constraint are those that maximize the entropy over the manifold of constrained equilibrium states. Here the observer reappears. He observes the evolution towards equilibrium and the averages: ?1 ?1,?2 ?2 We define ? ?1 1?1,?1 2?? ?1,?2/ 1+2,M1??,?1,?2 Maximum probability distribution ?? ?1 ??1 1+2,M1??,?1,?2 ?ln 1?1,?1 ??1 ?1=?1 ??2 2. Configurations faraway from equilibrium are not taken into account. Fortunately, in macroscopic systems they don t count, which is considered a justification but it s not. 1 ? 1?1,?1 2?? ?1,?2 ??1 ?ln 2?2,?2 = 0 1 = ?M1 This is the influence of the observer on the definition of the entropy. ???M1 ?2=?2=?? ?1 Temperature for Method 1 5.03.2018 BLTP seminar 22
Equilibrium probability distribution Method 2 Maximum entropy principle: the entropy is maximized for fixed average values of (some of) the extensive parameters (Jaynes, Phys. Rev. 106, 620, 1957; Tsallis, J. Stat. Phys. 52, 479, 1988; Psaltino & Psaltino, Phys. Lett.

Method 3 definition of the entropy of a composed system Systems 1 ?1,?1 and 2 ?2,?2 are put in (thermal) contact, so the system 1 + 2 has the parameters ??= ?1+ ?2,?1 We define the entropy of the compound system as ?1+2,M3??,?1,?2 = max ?1 ??1?1,?1 ??1 ?1,M3 ??2 If system 2 is a reservoir, ?2,M3 ?M3 is a constant and we recover Method 2 By construction, Method 1 and Method 3 are different (in mesoscopic systems). ?1?1,?1 + ?2?? ?1,?2 1 =??2?2,?2 1 ?2,M3 5.03.2018 BLTP seminar 26

Conclusions 5.03.2018 BLTP seminar 32
We analyzed 4 definitions of entropies, two extensive (Boltzmann- Gibbs and R nyi) and two non-extensive (Havrada-Charv t-Daroczy- Tsallis and Landsberg-Vedral). We discussed their general properties applicability to macroscopic and mesoscopic systems. We proposed three different methods to calculate the equilibrium properties of systems. We applied these methods to the entropies studied and we analyzed the results. In conclusion, there are two possible scenarios for the interpretation of the entropy of a composed mesoscopic system, one being expressed in Method 1 and the other one expressed in Method 3 (equivalent to Method 2). 5.03.2018 BLTP seminar 33
