Abstract
Within the Maximum Entropy Principle context, the specific heat of the system can be expressed in terms of the extensive variables (mean values) or the intensive variables (Lagrange multipliers). It can be shown that the specific heat of the system represented by a given Hamiltonian is not only a thermodynamical quantity but also a dynamical concept. In this contribution, we analyze the consequences emerging from the dynamical properties of the specific heat whose value can be varied using initial conditions independently of the temperature value for the case of semiquantum nonlinear Hamiltonians. An example is outlined.
