On the Boundedness of Free Energy Functionals
T.D. Frank

The boundedness of free energy functionals is examined. For several generic cases involving generalized energy and entropy measures, we show that free energy functionals defined on -space density functions are bounded from below.
Key words: free energy functionals, generalized entropies, stability condition
