An information and field theoretic approach to the grand canonical ensemble

We present a novel derivation of the constraints required to obtain the underlying principles of statistical mechanics using a maximum entropy framework. We derive the mean value constraints by use of the central limit theorem and the scaling properties of Lagrange multipliers. We then arrive at the...
