Abstract

The time evolution of total entropy including the entropy associated with horizon and entropy of matter inside the horizon in homogeneous and isotropic Jordan frame (dilatonic) Brans–Dicke cosmologies is examined. We show that the bouncing Brans–Dicke cosmologies do not satisfy the generalized second law of thermodynamics during the contracting phase of evolution.
