Scaling Laws for a System with long-range Interactions within Tsallis statistics

We study the one-dimensional Ising model with long-range interactions in the context of Tsallis non-extensive statistics by computing numerically the number of states with a given energy. We find that the internal energy, magnetization, entropy and free energy follow non-trivial scaling laws with the number of constituents N and temperature T. Each of the scaling functions for the internal energy,the magnetization and the free energy, adopts three different forms corresponding to q>1, q=1 and q<1, being q the non-extensivity parameter of Tsallis statistics.
