To such an effect, one uses the macroscopic thermodynamic relation that links ±S to changes in i) the internal energy E and ii) the remaining M relevant extensive quantities Ai, i = 1; : : : ;M; that characterize the context one is working with.}, organization = {This work was partially supported by (i) the MEC grant FIS2005-02796 (Spain) and FEDER (EU), (ii) the grant FQM 2445, Junta de Andalucia (Spain), and (iii) PIP6036-CONICET (Argentine Agency).}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {MaxEnt}, keywords = {Probability density function}, keywords = {Thermodynamics' relations}, title = {Incremental entropy relation as an alternative to MaxEnt}, doi = {10.3390/entropy-e10020124}, doi = {1099-4300}, author = {Plastino, Angelo and Plastino, Ángel Ricardo and Curado, Evaldo M.
