Comment on ``Scaling Laws for a System with Long-Range Interactions within Tsallis Statistics''
Benjamin P. Vollmayr-Lee, Erik Luijten
Abstract
In their recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 83, 4233 (1999)], Salazar and Toral (ST) study numerically a finite Ising chain with non-integrable interactions decaying like 1/r(d+sigma) where -d <= sigma <= 0 (like ST, we discuss general dimensionality d). In particular, they explore a presumed connection between non-integrable interactions and Tsallis's non-extensive statistics. We point out that (i) non-integrable interactions provide no more motivation for Tsallis statistics than do integrable interactions, i.e., Gibbs statistics remain meaningful for the non-integrable case, and in fact provide a complete and exact treatment; and (ii) there are undesirable features of the method ST use to regulate the non-integrable interactions.
