A non linear model for a rigid heat conductor was developed by Gurtin and Pipkin in [1] on the basis of Coleman’s results concerning materials with memory effects [2]. In [1] the authors have also derived a linearization of their theory, thus obtaining for isotropic materials a constitutive equation for the heat flux expressed in terms of the history of the temperature gradient. Such a relation is a generalization of the Cattaneo – Maxwell equation [3], since this appears as a special case of the theory. Many authors have considered such a constitutive equation to study its consequences in thermal problems. We remember, in parti- cular, the approximate theory of thermodynamics developed for Gurtin and Pipkin’s model in [4], where some thermodynamic potentials have been derived and used to prove stability and domain of dependence results. * Work performed under the support of CNR and MIUR. c© G.

FABRIZIO Recently, the problem of obtaining expressions for the maximum recoverable work, we can obtain from a given state of the material, has been considered by several authors, especially for linear viscoelastic solids (see, for example, [5 – 10] and [11 – 13]). A particular importance have the articles [14] and [15] for the interesting methods used for such studies. In [16] the problem of finding an explicit expression of the minimum free energy, which is related to the maximum recoverable work, has been studied for a rigid heat conductor. To describe the behaviour of any simple material we must consider its states and processes; in particular, the states are expressed in [17] by means of the temperature and of the integrated history of the temperature gradient, which was introduced in [1] and considered also in [4]. In this paper we consider some results obtained in [4] to describe the behaviour of a rigid heat conductor; in particular, we assume a linear relation for the internal energy as a function of the temperature and the linear functional derived in [1] for the heat flux. Thus, we consider the linearization of the Clausius – Duhem inequality in the form derived in [4] in order to examine the effects of the internal energy on the expression of the thermal work; then, we study the problem of determining explicit formulae for the minimum free energy, expressed in the form considered in [4] and there called pseudofree energy. Two expressions of this pseudofree energy are examined, the first of which was already studied in [4], the second one is a new functional, recently introduced and studied, in particular, for linear viscoelastic solids (see, for example, [10]). In Section 2, fundamental relations of the considered linear theory are introduced, together with the linearization of the local form of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. In Section 3, states and processes are defined and an equivalence between states is defined. In Section 4, the notion of the thermal work is introduced and some of its expressions are written for some particular cases; moreover, another equivalence relation between states is defined in terms of the work. In Sections 5 and 6 two equivalent forms of the maximum recoverable work are derived. In Section 7, we give the expressions of two functionals which can be considered as pseudofree energies for these materials. 2. Preliminaries. Let B be a rigid heat conductor occupying a fixed and bounded domain Ω in the Euclidean three-dimensional space. We suppose that Ω is a regular domain, that is simply-connected with a smooth boundary, whose unit outward normal is denoted by n. We regard B as a homogeneous, isotropic and endowed of memory for the heat flux, within the linear theory of thermodynamics developed in [1] and studied also in [4], and we assume the constitutive equations e(x, t) = α0ϑ(x, t), q(x, t) = − +∞∫ 0 k(s)gt(x, s)ds (1) for the internal energy e and the heat flux q. In these linearized relations ϑ denotes the relative temperature, with respect to the absolute reference temperature Θ0 uniform in Ω̄, the heat flux relaxation k : R+ ≡ [0,+∞) → R is such that k ∈ L1(R+) ∩ H1(R+), while g =∇ϑ is the temperature gradient, whose history up to time t is defined by gt(x, s) = g(x, t− s) ∀s ∈ R+; finally, we denote by x the position vector in Ω. ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 MAXIMUM RECOVERABLE WORK AND PSEUDOFREE ENERGIES . . . 9 The function k is defined by k(t) = k0 + t∫ 0 k̇(τ)dτ ∀t ∈ R+, (2) where k0 = k(0), its initial value, and lim t→+∞ k(t) = 0 [4, 18]; moreover, in the expression of e there is a coefficient α0 > 0 because of physical observation. In [4], starting from the Clausius – Duhem inequality, the authors have derived its lineari- zation, which involves second order approximations for the free energy and the entropy, because of the first order ones assumed for e and q. Thus, by introducing the function ψ = Θ0(e−Θ0η), they have obtained the following inequality: ψ̇(x, t) ≤ ė(x, t)ϑ(x, t)− q(x, t) · g(x, t). (3) The function now considered is called pseudofree energy, since, even if its values haven’t the di- mensions of an energy, its properties closely resemble those of the canonical free energy e−Θ0η. We observe that the introduction of the factor Θ0 in the definition of the pseudofree energy yields the elimination of the factor 1/Θ0 involved by the linearization in the scalar product q · g, and, therefore, in (3) the reference temperature does not appear. From the inequality (3), which expresses the linearized local form of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, it follows the equality ψ̇(x, t) +D(x, t) = ė(x, t)ϑ(x, t)− q(x, t) · g(x, t), (4) where we have introduced D(x, t), called the internal dissipation function, which must be non- negative because of the same Second Law. The expression (1)2 of the heat flux, by integrating by parts, assumes the form q(x, t) = +∞∫ 0 k′(s)ḡt(x, s)ds, (5) where we have introduced the integrated history of g, that is a function ḡt(x, ·) : R → R3 defined by ḡt(x, s) = t∫ t−s g(x, τ)dτ = s∫ 0 gt(x, λ)dλ. It is useful for what follows to introduce the formal Fourier transform of any function f : R → Rn, fF (ω) = +∞∫ −∞ f(s)e−iωsds = f−(ω) + f+(ω) ∀ω ∈ R, where ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 10 G. AMENDOLA, C. A. BOSELLO, M. FABRIZIO f−(ω) = 0∫ −∞ f(s)e−iωsds, f+(ω) = +∞∫ 0 f(s)e−iωsds, (6) together with the half-range Fourier sine and cosine transforms fs(ω) = +∞∫ 0 f(s) sin(ωs)ds, fc(ω) = +∞∫ 0 f(s) cos(ωs)ds. We remember that if f is a real-valued function, then the complex conjugate (fF (ω))∗ = = f(−ω); moreover, if f is defined on R+ we can consider f+, fs and fc, while for a function defined on R− the definition of f− is used. Finally, we have the following relations: fF (ω) = fc(ω)− ifs(ω), fF (ω) = 2fc(ω), fF (ω) = −ifs(ω), (7) when f , defined on R+, is extended to R by considering its usual extension, that is by identi- fying f with a function defined on R which is equal to zero on the strictly negative reals R−−, or its extension by means of an even extension, i.e., f(s) = f(−s) ∀s ∈ R−−, or its extension by using an odd function that is when f(s) = −f(−s) ∀s ∈ R−− respectively. Moreover, if f and f ′ belong to L1(R+) ∩ L2(R+), then f ′s(ω) = −ωfc(ω). Under these hypotheses, for the kernel k we have the conditions [4, 18] kc(ω) = − 1 ω k′s(ω) > 0 ∀ω 6= 0, k(0) = − 2 π +∞∫ 0 k′s(ω) ω dω > 0, (8) because of the thermodynamic restrictions on the constitutive equation and using the inverse half-range Fourier transform. Furthermore, if k′′ ∈ L2(R+) and | k′(0) |< +∞, then sup ω∈R |ωk′s(ω)| < +∞, lim ω→∞ ωk′s(ω) = − lim ω→∞ ω2kc(ω) = k′(0) ≤ 0. We assume kc(0) > 0, k′(0) < 0. (9) The complex z-plane C has an important role in what follows and we define its subsets C− = { z ∈ C; Im z ∈ R−} , C(−) = { z ∈ C; Im z ∈ R−−} ; analogous meanings are given to C+ and C(+), related to R+ and R++ = (0,+∞). We observe that C± include R and C(±) exclude it. Thus, f±, given by (6), can be defined for z ∈ C and are analytic functions in C(∓), but, assuming their analyticity on R, they become analytic in C∓ ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 MAXIMUM RECOVERABLE WORK AND PSEUDOFREE ENERGIES . . . 11 [15]. Finally, we shall use the notation f(±)(z) to denote that the zeros and the singularities of f are only in C±. 3. States and processes. A rigid heat conductor characterized by the constitutive equations (1) can be consider as a simple material and hence its behaviour is described by means of states and processes [1, 19 – 21]. Thus, we choose as thermodynamic state the couple σ(t) = (ϑ(t), ḡt) and denote by Σ the set of the possible states of the body. Then, we define as thermodynamic process the piecewise continuous map P : [0, d) → → R×R3 given by P (τ) = (ϑ̇P (τ),gP (τ)) ∀τ ∈ [0, d), where d is termed the duration of the process. The set of thermodynamic processes is denoted by Π. If P ∈ Π also its restriction P[τ1,τ2) to any interval [τ1, τ2) ⊂ [0, d) belongs to Π; moreover, given two processes Pj ∈ Π, j = 1, 2, with durations dj , j = 1, 2, their composition P1 ∗ P2(τ) = { P1(τ) ∀τ ∈ [0, d1), P2(τ − d1) ∀τ ∈ [d1, d1 + d2), also belongs to Π. The state transition function ρ : Σ× Π → Σ maps any initial state σi ∈ Σ and P ∈ Π into the final state σf = ρ(σi, P ) ∈ Σ. Thus, given σi = σ(0) and a process P[0,τ), the final state is σ(τ) = ρ(σ(0), P[0,τ)); moreover, the pair (σ,P ) is called a cycle if σ(d) = ρ(σ(0), P ) = σ(0). Let P (τ) = (ϑ̇P (τ),gP (τ)) be a process applied at time t = 0 to the initial state σ(0) = = (ϑ∗(0),g0 ∗), then τ ≡ t ∈ [0, d) and the state σ(t) is given by ϑ(t) = ϑ∗(0) + t∫ 0 ϑ̇P (s)ds, ḡt(s) =  t∫ t−s gP (ξ)dξ, 0 ≤ s < t, t∫ 0 gP (ξ)dξ + ḡ0 ∗(s− t), s ≥ t. (10) If the process P (τ) = (ϑ̇P (τ),gP (τ)) ∀τ ∈ [0, d) is applied at time t > 0 to the initial state σi(t) = (ϑi(t), ḡt i), we have the subsequent states characterized by the temperature ϑP (τ) ≡ ϑ(t+ τ) = ϑ(t) + τ∫ 0 ϑ̇P (η)dη (11) ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 12 G. AMENDOLA, C. A. BOSELLO, M. FABRIZIO together with the prolongation of the integrated history ḡt i defined by ḡ(t+ d− s) = (gP ∗ ḡi)t+d(s) = =  d∫ d−s gP (ξ)dξ = ḡd P (s), 0 ≤ s < d, d∫ 0 gP (ξ)dξ + t∫ t−(s−d) gi(ξ)dξ = ḡd P (d) + ḡt i(s− d), s ≥ d. (12) Definition 1. Two states σj = (ϑj , ḡt j), j = 1, 2, are said to be equivalent if e(ρ(σ1, P[0,τ))) = e(ρ(σ2, P[0,τ))), q̃((gP ∗ g1)t+τ ) = q̃((gP ∗ g2)t+τ ) ∀τ > 0 (13) for any process P ∈ Π. Theorem 1. For a rigid heat conductor characterized by (1), two states σj = (ϑj , ḡt j), j = 1, 2, are equivalent if and only if ϑ1(t) = ϑ2(t), +∞∫ 0 k′(ξ + τ) [ ḡt 1(ξ)− ḡt 2(ξ) ] dξ = 0 ∀τ > 0. (14) Proof. Taking into account (11), (12) it is easy to prove that (14) implies (13) and vice-versa. Given the state σ(t) = (ϑ(t), ḡt), taking account of (11), (12), from (1) we have e(t+ τ) = α0 ϑ(t) + τ∫ 0 ϑ̇P (η)dη  , q(t+ τ) = τ∫ 0 k′(s)ḡτ P (s)ds+ +∞∫ τ k′(s)[ḡτ P (τ) + ḡt(s− τ)]ds, by applying any process P (τ) = (ϑ̇P (τ),gP (τ)) of duration d. It is easy to show that such a state σ(t) = (ϑ(t), ḡt) is equivalent to the zero state σ0 = = (0, 0̄†), where the relative temperature is null and 0̄† denotes the zero integrated history, i.e., 0̄†(s) = gt(s) = 0 ∀s ∈ R+, if ϑ(t) = 0, +∞∫ τ k′(s)ḡt(s− τ)ds = +∞∫ 0 k′(ξ + τ)ḡt(ξ)dξ = 0. Thus, it follows that the two states σj , j = 1, 2, are equivalent if their difference σ1 − σ2 = = (ϑ1 − ϑ2, ḡt 1 − ḡt 2) is a state equivalent to σ0 = (0, 0̄†). ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 MAXIMUM RECOVERABLE WORK AND PSEUDOFREE ENERGIES . . . 13 4. The thermal work. The linearized form (3) of the Clausius – Duhem inequality allows us to introduce the thermal power expressed by the following expression: w(t) = ė(t)ϑ(t)− q(t) · g(t). Thus, the thermal work done on a process P(τ) = (ϑ̇P (τ),gP (τ)) applied for every τ ∈ [0, d), starting from the initial state σ(t) = (ϑ(t), ḡt) at time t, is expressed by W (σ, P ) = W̃ (ϑ(t), ḡt; ϑ̇P ,gP ) = d∫ 0 [ė(t+ τ)ϑP (τ)− q(t+ τ) · gP (τ)]dτ. (15) Taking into account (1), (11) and (12), (15) becomes W̃ (ϑ(t), ḡt; ϑ̇P ,gP ) = d∫ 0 [α0ϑ̇P (τ)ϑP (τ)− q((gP ∗ ḡ)t+τ ) · gP (τ)]dτ = = 1 2 α0[ϑ2(t+ d)− ϑ2(t)]− d∫ 0 +∞∫ 0 k′(s)(gP ∗ ḡ)t+τ (s)ds · g(τ)dτ. (16) In order to distinguish the part of the work done only during the application of the process, let us consider the particular case related to the initial state σ0 = (0, 0̄†) and apply to this state a process P of duration d at time t = 0. The ensuing fields are given by (10), which now reduce to ϑ0(t) = t∫ 0 ϑ̇P (s)ds, (gP ∗ 0̄†)t(s) = { ḡt 0(s), 0 ≤ s < t, ḡt 0(t), s ≥ t. (17) Definition 2. A process P = (ϑ̇P ,gP ), of duration d, applied at time t = 0 and related to ϑ0(t) and (gP ∗ 0̄†)t expressed by (17), is called a finite work process if W̃ (0, 0̄†; ϑ̇P ,gP ) = d∫ 0 [α0ϑ̇0(t)ϑ0(t)− q((g0 ∗ 0̄†)t) · g0(t)]dt < +∞. (18) Lemma 1. The work (18) is such that W̃ (0, 0̄†; ϑ̇P ,gP ) > 0. Proof. From (18), taking account of (17), we have W̃ (0, 0̄†; ϑ̇P ,gP ) = 1 2 α0ϑ 2 0(d)− − d∫ 0  t∫ 0 k′(s)ḡt 0(s)ds+ +∞∫ t k′(s)ḡt 0(t)ds  · g0(t)dt, ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 14 G. AMENDOLA, C. A. BOSELLO, M. FABRIZIO whence, by integrating by parts in the first integral and evaluating the second one, we get W̃ (0, 0̄†; ϑ̇P ,gP ) = 1 2 α0ϑ 2 0(d) + d∫ 0 t∫ 0 k(s)gt 0(s)ds · g0(t)dt. (19) The last integral, applying Plancherel’s theorem, on supposing the functions equal to zero for any t > d, can be written as +∞∫ 0 t∫ 0 k(s)gt 0(s)ds · g0(t)dt = 1 2π +∞∫ −∞ kF (ω)g0F (ω) · (g0F (ω))∗dω = = 1 2π +∞∫ −∞ kc(ω)[g2 0c (ω) + g2 0s (ω)]dω > 0, since the Fourier transforms of the functions, equal to zero on R−−, are given by (7)1, where the cosine and sine transforms are even and odd functions, respectively. Thus, by virtue of (8)1, it follows that the work (19) is positive. The lemme is proved. Any process P (τ) = (ϑ̇P (τ),gP (τ)), defined for any τ ∈ [0, d) with d < +∞ and applied at time t = 0, can be extended on R+ by putting P (τ) = (0,0) ∀τ ≥ d; we can assume ϑP (τ) = 0 for any τ > d and obtain from (18) W̃ (0, 0̄†; ϑ̇P ,gP ) = 1 2 α0ϑ 2 0(d)− − +∞∫ 0  τ∫ 0 k′(s)ḡτ P (s)ds+ +∞∫ τ k′(s)ḡτ P (τ)ds  · gP (τ)dτ = = 1 2 α0ϑ 2 0(d) + +∞∫ 0 τ∫ 0 k(τ − ξ)gP (ξ) · gP (τ)dξdτ = = 1 2 α0ϑ 2 0(d) + 1 2 +∞∫ 0 +∞∫ 0 k(| τ − ξ |)gP (ξ) · gP (τ)dξdτ. Application of Plancherel’s theorem, using (7)2, yields W̃ (0, 0̄†; ϑ̇P ,gP ) = 1 2 α0ϑ 2 0(d) + 1 2π +∞∫ −∞ kc(ω)gP+(ω) · (gP+(ω))∗dω. ISSN 1562-3076.

Now, let the process P of duration d be applied at time t > 0 to the initial state σ(t) = = (ϑ(t), ḡt). We suppose that P (τ) = (0,0) ∀τ ≥ d and that ϑP (τ) = 0 ∀τ > d. The work done on P is given by (16)1, which becomes W (σ(t), P ) = W̃ (ϑ(t), ḡt; ϑ̇P ,gP ) = 1 2 α0[ϑ2 P (d)− ϑ2 P (0)]− − +∞∫ 0  τ∫ 0 k′(s)ḡτ P (s)ds+ +∞∫ τ k′(s)[ḡτ P (τ) + ḡt(s− τ)]ds  · gP (τ)dτ = = 1 2 α0[ϑ2 P (d)− ϑ2 P (0)]+ + +∞∫ 0  τ∫ 0 k(τ − ξ)gP (ξ)dξ − +∞∫ 0 k′(τ + η)ḡt(η)dη  · gP (τ)dτ.

Two states σj(t) = (ϑj(t), ḡt j), j = 1, 2, are termed w-equivalent if and only if the equality W (σ1(t), P ) = W (σ2(t), P ) (23) holds for every process P : [0, τ) → R×R3 and for every τ > 0. Theorem 2. For any rigid heat conductor described by the constitutive equation (1), two equivalent states are equivalent in the sense of Definition 1 if and only if they are w-equivalent. Proof. If two states σj(t) = (ϑj(t), ḡt j), j = 1, 2, are equivalent, then, for every process P (τ) = (ϑ̇P (τ),gP (τ)) and for every τ > 0, (13), as well as (14), hold and hence the two works done on the same P by starting from the initial states σj(t), j = 1, 2, coincide because of (16). Now, on assuming that the two states are w-equivalent, we see that (23) holds and, taking into account (16)1 with the second term expressed by means of its expression given by (22)1, reduces to +∞∫ 0 α0ϑ̇P (τ)[ϑ1(t)− ϑ2(t)]dτ = +∞∫ 0 [It(τ, ḡt 1)− It(τ, ḡt 2)] · gP (τ)dτ, whence, because of the arbitrarinesses of ϑ̇P and gP in P , the expressions in the square brackets must vanish, that is, by virtue of (21), we have (14), which expresses the equivalence of the two states. The theorem is proved. 5. Formulation of the maximum recoverable work. The amount of energy which is available at a given state σ of a body is related to the maximum work we can obtain from the fixed state [11]. Definition 4. The maximum work obtained by starting from a given σ of the body B is given by WR(σ) = sup {−W (σ, P ) : P ∈ Π} , where Π denotes the set of finite work processes. We observe that WR(σ) is nonnegative, since the null process, which belongs to Π, gives a null work and it is also bounded from above as a consequence of the thermodynamics. Moreover, this work coincides with the minimum free energy [11, 14, 15] that is ψm(σ) = WR(σ). ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 MAXIMUM RECOVERABLE WORK AND PSEUDOFREE ENERGIES . . . 17 In order to derive an expression for this quantity, we consider the work done on a process P ∈ Π, of duration d > 0, applied at a fixed time t > 0 when the state is σ(t) = (ϑ(t), ḡt). We can extend on R+ the process by defining P = (0,0) ∀τ ∈ [d,+∞) and we also assume ϑP (d) = 0. To determine the maximum of −W (σ, P ) we consider the expression (16)1 or (22)1 of the work written for the process P characterized by ϑ̇P (τ) = ϑ̇(m)(τ) + γϕ(τ), gP (τ) = g(m)(τ) + εv(τ) ∀τ ∈ R+, where the subscript (m) denotes the process which yields the said maximum, while γ and ε are two real parameters and (ϕ(τ),v(τ)) are arbitrary functions with ϕ(0) = 0, v(0) = 0. Thus, we have −W̃ (ϑ(t), ḡt; ϑ̇(m) + γϕ,g(m) + εv) = = − +∞∫ 0 α0[ϑ̇(m)(τ) + γϕ(τ)] ϑ(t) + τ∫ 0 [ϑ̇(m)(ξ) + γϕ(ξ)]dξ dτ− − +∞∫ 0 1 2 +∞∫ 0 k(| τ − ξ |)[g(m)(ξ) + εv(ξ)]dξ − It(τ, ḡt)  · · [g(m)(τ) + εv(τ)]dτ, whence we get the following system: ∂ ∂γ [−W (σ, P )] |γ=0 = − +∞∫ 0 α0 ϕ(τ)[ϑ(t) + τ∫ 0 [ϑ̇(m)(ξ)dξ] + + ϑ̇(m)(τ) τ∫ 0 ϕ(ξ)dξ  dτ = 0, (24) ∂ ∂ε [−W (σ, P )] |ε=0 = − +∞∫ 0  +∞∫ 0 k(| τ − ξ |)g(m)(ξ)dξ − It(τ, ḡt)  · v(τ)dτ = 0. Integrating by parts with respect to τ in the last term and taking account of (11) it is easy to see that the first equation of (24) is identically satisfied. The second one, for the arbitrariness of v yields the relation +∞∫ 0 k(| τ − ξ |)g(m)(v)dξ = It(τ, ḡt) ∀τ ∈ R+, (25) ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 18 G. AMENDOLA, C. A. BOSELLO, M. FABRIZIO which is an integral equation of the Wiener – Hopf type of the first kind, which in our particular case is solvable by virtue of the thermodynamic properties of the integral kernel and some theorems of factorization. With the solution g(m) of (25) we can write the expression of the maximum recoverable work, which, using (22) and (25), assumes the form WR(σ) = 1 2 α0ϑ 2(t) + 1 2 +∞∫ 0 +∞∫ 0 k(| τ − ξ |)g(m)(ξ) · g(m)(τ)dξdτ = = 1 2 α0ϑ 2(t) + 1 2π +∞∫ −∞ kc(ω)g(m) + (ω) · (g(m) + (ω))∗dω, (26) by means of Plancherel’s theorem. The solution of (25) has been already derived in [17], by considering the factorization of the kernel kc(ω) = k(+)(ω)k(−)(ω), (27) which allows us to obtain from the Fourier transform of (25), modified as +∞∫ 0 k(| τ − ξ |)g(m)(ξ)dξ = It(τ, ḡt) + r(τ), where r(τ) =  +∞∫ −∞ k(| τ − ξ |)g(m)(ξ)dξ ∀τ ∈ R−, 0 ∀τ ∈ R++, the relation k+(ω)g(m) + (ω) = 1 2k(−)(ω) [It +(ω, ḡt) + r−(ω)]. (28) The Plemelj formulae give [16] 1 2k(−)(ω) It +(ω, ḡt) = Pt (−)(ω)−Pt (+)(ω), (29) where Pt(z) = 1 2πi +∞∫ −∞ It +(ω, ḡt)/[2k(−)(ω)] ω − z dω, Pt (±)(ω) = lim β→0∓ Pt(ω + iβ), and hence from (28) we get k(+)(ω)g(m) + (ω) + Pt (+)(ω) = Pt (−)(ω) + 1 2k(−)(ω) r−(ω) = 0 ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 MAXIMUM RECOVERABLE WORK AND PSEUDOFREE ENERGIES . . . 19 because of the analyticity of the first hand-side in C− and of the second one in C+, which vanish at infinity. Thus, in particular, we have g(m) + (ω) = − Pt (+)(ω) k(+)(ω) , which allows us to derive from (26)2 the required expression ψm(σ(t)) = 1 2 α0ϑ 2(t) + 1 2π +∞∫ −∞ | Pt (+)(ω) |2 dω. (30) 6. Another formulation for ψm. An equivalent expression of the minimum free energy can be deduced by considering the relation between Pt (+)(ω) and ḡt(ω). Let us extend k′(s) on R−− with an odd function by putting k′(0)(ξ) = { k′(ξ) ∀ξ ≥ 0, −k′(−ξ) ∀ξ < 0, whose Fourier’s transform, on account of (7)3 and (8)1, is given by k ′(0) F (ω) = −2ik ′ s(ω) = 2iωkc(ω); moreover, ḡt is extended on R−− by means of its usual extension, i.e., ḡt(s) = 0 ∀s < 0. Thus, (21) becomes It(τ, ḡt) = +∞∫ −∞ k′(0)(τ + s)ḡt(s)ds ∀τ ≥ 0 and can be extended on R as follows: It(R)(τ, ḡt) = +∞∫ −∞ k′(0)(τ + ξ)ḡt(ξ)dξ = { It(τ, ḡt) ∀τ ≥ 0, It(N)(τ, ḡt) ∀τ < 0, (31) where we have put It(N)(τ, ḡt) = +∞∫ −∞ k′(0)(τ + ξ)ḡt(ξ)dξ ∀τ < 0. Then, we consider the function ḡt N (s) = ḡt(−s) ∀s ≤ 0 and its extension ḡt N (s) = 0 ∀s > 0, for which we have ḡt NF (ω) = ḡt N−(ω) = ( ḡt +(ω) )∗ . (32) ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 20 G. AMENDOLA, C. A. BOSELLO, M. FABRIZIO Therefore, (31) with (32) and (8)1 give It(R)(τ, ḡt) = +∞∫ −∞ k′(0)(τ − s)ḡt N (s)ds, from which we have It(R) F (ω, ḡt) = −2ik′s(ω) ( ḡt +(ω) )∗ = 2ikc(ω) ( ḡt +(ω) )∗ (33) but also from (31) we obtain It(R) F (ω, ḡt) = It(N) − (ω, ḡt) + It +(ω, ḡt). (34) Thus, using (27), from (33), (34) and (29) we have 1 2k(−)(ω) It(R) F (ω, ḡt) = 1 2k(−)(ω) It(N) − (ω, ḡt) + Pt (−)(ω)−Pt (+)(ω), whence it follows that Pt (+)(ω)−P(1)t (+) (ω) = Pt (−)(ω)−P(1)t (−) (ω) + 1 2k(−)(ω) It(N) − (ω, ḡt), (35) where we have applied the Plemelj formulae, that is 1 2k(−)(ω) It(R) F (ω, ḡt) = P(1)t (−) (ω)−P(1)t (+) (ω), P(1)t (z) = 1 2πi +∞∫ −∞ It(R) F (ω, ḡt)/[2k(−)(ω)] ω − z dω. From (35), because of the analyticity of both sides, which vanish at infinity, it follows that Pt (+)(ω) = P(1)t (+) (ω) = lim z→ω− 1 2πi +∞∫ −∞ iω′k(+)(ω′)(ḡt +(ω′))∗ ω′ − z dω′, whence ( Pt (+)(ω) )∗ = i lim η→ω+ 1 2πi +∞∫ −∞ ω′k(−)(ω′)ḡt +(ω′) ω′ − η dω′. (36) Applying again the Plemelj formulae, we have Qt (±)(ω) = lim z→ω∓ 1 2πi +∞∫ −∞ ω′k(−)(ω′)ḡt +(ω′) ω′ − z dω′, (37) Qt (−)(ω)−Qt (+)(ω) = ωk(−)(ω)ḡt +(ω), (38) ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 MAXIMUM RECOVERABLE WORK AND PSEUDOFREE ENERGIES . . . 21 which allow us to write (36) as follows:( Pt (+)(ω) )∗ = iQt (−)(ω) and, finally, to change (30) in the form ψm(σ) = 1 2 α0ϑ 2(t) + 1 2π +∞∫ −∞ | Qt (−)(ω) |2 dω. We observe that the quantity now introduced can express the heat flux. In fact, Plancherel’s theorem, applied to (5) by using (7)3 for k′ and (8)1, yields q(ḡt) = − i π +∞∫ −∞ ωkc(ω)ḡt +(ω)dω = − i π +∞∫ −∞ ωk(+)(ω) [ Qt (−)(ω)−Qt (+)(ω) ] dω = = − i π +∞∫ −∞ k(+)(ω)Qt (−)(ω)dω, where we have also considered (27), (38) and the analyticity of k(+)(ω)Qt (+)(ω) in C− which yields a null value of the corresponding integral. 7. Particular pseudofree energies. A first example of thermodynamic potentials for the rigid heat conductor is given by the Graffi – Volterra functional [22 – 25], which, we now write in the following form: ψG(ϑ(t), ḡt) = 1 2 α0ϑ 2(t)− 1 2 +∞∫ 0 k′(s)ḡt(s) · ḡt(s)ds. (39) We observe that ψG is a positive definite quadratic form because of the positiveness of α0 and if we suppose that k′(s) < 0; we also assume k′′(s) ≥ 0 ∀s ∈ R+. From (39) we have ψ̇G(t) = α0ϑ̇(t)ϑ(t)− +∞∫ 0 k′(s) d dt [ḡt(s)] · ḡt(s)ds = = α0ϑ̇(t)ϑ(t)− q(t) · g(t) + +∞∫ 0 k′(s)gt(s) · ḡt(s)ds. (40) Here, the last integral becomes +∞∫ 0 k′(s)gt(s) · ḡt(s)ds = 1 2 +∞∫ 0 k′(s) d ds [ḡt(s) · ḡt(s)]ds ISSN 1562-3076. Нелiнiйнi коливання, 2007, т . 10, N◦ 1 22 G. AMENDOLA, C. A. BOSELLO, M. FABRIZIO and, integrating by parts, we can write (40) as follows: ψ̇G(t) + 1 2 +∞∫ 0 k′′(s)ḡt(s) · ḡt(s)ds = α0ϑ̇(t)ϑ(t)− q(t) · g(t), which implies that (4) is satisfied with a corresponding dissipation DG(t) expressed by DG(t) = 1 2 +∞∫ 0 k′′(s)ḡt(s) · ḡt(s)ds ≥ 0 for all integrated histories, by virtue of the hypothesis k′′(s) ≥ 0 ∀s ∈ R+. A second example is given by a functional expressed in terms of It [10], given by ψF (ϑ, It) = 1 2 α0ϑ 2(t)− 1 2 +∞∫ 0 1 k′(τ) It (1)(τ) · I t (1)(τ)dτ, (41) where It (1)(τ) is the derivative of (21) with respect to τ , that is, It (1)(τ) = d dτ It(τ, ḡt) = +∞∫ 0 k′′(τ + s)ḡt(s)ds, (42) and the kernel k is supposed to be such that k′′(s) is a nonnegative function of s ∈ R+, while k′(s) is a nonpositive function of s ∈ R+, in order that (41) gives a nonnegative quantity. We note that the factor 1/k′(τ), increasing at large τ , is multiplied by factors whose behavi- ours yield the existence of the integral in (41). Thus, we can introduce the domain H ′ F (R+) = It; ∣∣∣∣∣ +∞∫ 0 1 k′(τ) It (1)(τ) · I t (1)(τ)dτ ∣∣∣∣∣ < +∞  , that is a space very much larger than the domain of ψG . We only note that (41) can be written in terms of the integrated history ḡt, since from (42) we have ψF (t) = 1 2 α0ϑ 2(t)− +∞∫ 0 +∞∫ 0  +∞∫ 0 1 k′(τ) k′′(τ + s1)k′′(τ + s2)dτ  ḡt(s1)· · ḡt(s2)ds1ds2 = = 1 2 α0ϑ 2(t) + +∞∫ 0 +∞∫ 0 k12(s1, s2)ḡt(s1) · ḡt(s2)ds1ds2, ISSN 1562-3076.

Now, we return to (41) to evaluate the derivative with respect to time, ψ̇F (t) = α0ϑ̇(t)ϑ(t)− +∞∫ 0 1 k′(τ) . I t (1) (τ) · It (1)(τ)dτ. (43) Here, taking into account (42), we have . I t (1) (τ) = d dt It (1)(τ) = −k′(τ)g(t) + It (2)(τ), where It (2)(τ) = d dτ It (1)(τ) = d2 dτ2 It(τ). Hence, (43) becomes ψ̇F (t) = α0ϑ̇(t)ϑ(t) + +∞∫ 0 Ĭt (1)(τ)dτ · g(t)− +∞∫ 0 1 k′(τ) It (2)(τ) · I t (1)(τ)dτ, where the first integral gives +∞∫ 0 It (1)(τ)dτ = −It(0, ḡt) = − +∞∫ 0 k′(s)ḡt(s)ds = −q(t), while the second one, by integrating by parts, yields +∞∫ 0 1 k′(τ) It (2)(τ) · I t (1)(τ)dτ = 1 2 +∞∫ 0 1 k′(τ) d dτ [It (1)(τ) · I t (1)(τ)]dτ = = −1 2 +∞∫ 0 d dτ [ 1 k′(τ) ] It (1)(τ) · I t (1)(τ)dτ − 1 2 1 k′(0) It (1)(0) · It (1)(0).

FABRIZIO Thus, we get ψ̇F (t) +DF (t) = α0ϑ̇(t)ϑ(t)− q(t) · g(t), where the corresponding dissipation is given by DF (t) = −1 2 +∞∫ 0 d dτ [ 1 k′(τ) ] It (1)(τ) · I t (1)(τ)dτ− 1 2 1 k′(0) It (1)(0) · It (1)(0) ≥ 0; (44) the positiveness of DF (t) follows from the assumption (9)2 and the following inequality: d dτ [ 1 µ′(τ) ] = − 1 [k′(τ)]2 k′′(τ) ≤ 0. (45) Obviously, from (44) we get DF (t) ≥ −1 2 +∞∫ 0 d dτ [ 1 k′(τ) ] It (1)(τ) · I t (1)(τ)dτ ≥ 0 and from this inequality, on assuming that there exists δ ∈ R++ such that k′′(τ) + δk′(τ) ≥ 0 ∀τ ∈ R+, which, using (45), yields d dτ [ 1 µ′(τ) ] = − k′′(τ) [k′(τ)]2 ≤ δ k′(τ) < 0, it follows that the dissipation also satisfies the inequality DF (t) ≥ δ [ ψF (t)− 1 2 α0ϑ 2(t) ] . 1.
