Combinatorial origins of the canonical ensemble

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

The Darwin-Fowler method in combination with the steepest descent approach is a common tool in the asymptotic description of many models arising from statistical physics. In this work, we focus rather on the non-asymptotic behavior of the Darwin-Fowler procedure. By using a combinatorial approach based on Bell polynomials, we solve it exactly. Due to that approach, we also show relationships of typical models with combinatorial Lah and Stirling numbers.
