Homework Statement
<br /> S(E,V) = kln(\Gamma(E) )\\<br /> S(E,V) = kln(\omega(E) )\\<br /> S(E,V) = kln(\Sigma(E) )\\<br />
S entropy, k Boltzmann's constant. Prove these 3 are equivalent up to an additive constant.
Homework Equations
<br /> \Gamma(E) = \int_{E<H<E+\Delta}^{'}dpdq\\<br /> \Gamma(E)=\omega\Delta \\<br /> \Delta << E\\<br /> <br /> \Sigma(E) = \int_{H<E}^{'}dpdq\\<br /> \omega = \frac{\partial \Sigma}{\partial E}\\<br />
H is the system's Hamiltonian and E is an arbitrary energy. These are integrations over all the p and q's, I wrote them like that to abbreviate.
The Attempt at a Solution
Using the 1st definition I can get to the 2nd one, but I can't reach at sigma's definition.
<br /> <br /> kln(\Gamma(E)) = kln(\omega\Delta) = kln(\omega) + kln(\Delta)\\<br /> ln(\Delta) << ln(\omega) => S = kln(\omega)\\<br />
