The Boltzmann temperature and Lagrange multiplier

arXiv:cond-mat/0509367

Abstract

We consider the relation between the Boltzmann temperature and the Lagrange multipliers associated with energy average in the nonextensive thermostatistics. In Tsallis' canonical ensemble, the Boltzmann temperature depends on energy through the probability distribution unless $q=1$. It is shown that the so-called 'physical temperature' introduced in [Phys. Lett. A \textbf{281} (2001) 126] is nothing but the ensemble average of the Boltzmann temperature.
