Abstract
In a recent paper(1) we discussed the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in t he framework of Tsallis's nonextensive statistical mechanics. In particular , we studied an ideal gas of bosons in a confining harmonic potential. In t his memoir we generalize our previous analysis by investigating an ideal Bo se gas in a generic power-law external potential. We derive analytical form ulas for the energy of the system, the BEC transition temperature and the c ondensed fraction.
