Description
Considering corrections to all orders in the Planck length on the quantum state density from the generalized uncertainty principle and using the quantum state density to all degrees of freedom including extra dimensions, we calculate the statistical entropy of the scalar field in the higher-dimensional static spherically symmetric black hole spacetime without any artificial cutoff. Calculation shows that the entropy is proportional to the horizon area. The coefficient of proportionality is 1/4 when the minimal length parameter is selected appropriately. (general)
