... The minimum principle for G then states that for all states at a fixed T and P , the equilibrium state is that for which G is a minimum. The proof is very similar to that for A: the second law states that ∆Q ≤ T ∆S or 0 ≥ T ∆S + ∆U + P ∆V , if P is held fixed. But dG = dU − T dS + P dV , so dG ≤ 0 i ...

If we consider subsystem A to contain and ideal atomic gas, then the number of accessible micro-states of A is simply the number of places in space that may be occupied by the gas atoms. Thus, ...

H-theorem
In classical statistical mechanics, the H-theorem, introduced by Ludwig Boltzmann in 1872, describes the tendency to increase in the quantity H (defined below) in a nearly-ideal gas of molecules. As this quantity H was meant to represent the entropy of thermodynamics, the H-theorem was an early demonstration of the power of statistical mechanics as it claimed to derive the second law of thermodynamics—a statement about fundamentally irreversible processes—from reversible microscopic mechanics.The H-theorem is a natural consequence of the kinetic equation derived by Boltzmann that has come to be known as Boltzmann's equation. The H-theorem has led to considerable discussion about its actual implications, with major themes being: What is entropy? In what sense does Boltzmann's quantity H correspond to the thermodynamic entropy? Are the assumptions (such as the Stosszahlansatz described below) behind Boltzmann's equation too strong? When are these assumptions violated?↑
