Statistical foundations of thermodynamics. II. Equivalence problem. stability conditions

  • On the basis of the results obtained in a previous paper it is shown that in the thermodynamic limit the analogues of the Massieu-Plandc functions are linked with each other by means of the Legendre transformation. The existence of the limiting function φk(∞) implies the existence of the limiting function φl(∞) (l<k) under the same assumptions. Passage to the limit and derivation with respect to all independent variables commute. A statistical derivation of the thermodynamic stability condition in its most general form is given which leads naturally to a statistical interpretation of the concept of thermodynamic stability.
