Abstract
A statistical procedure is applied for constructing an entropy functional associated with a collective Vlasov equilibrium described by a given coarse-grained current and charge distribution. The functional is not at a maximum if the magnetic or electrostatic equilibrium is not unique. This property connects the principle of maximum entropy with bifurcation theory and marginal stability analysis.
