Abstract

The present work is motivated by the study of the paper K. Karami, A. Abdolmaleki, J. Cosmol. Astropart. Phys. 04, 007 (2012), where the generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics has been investigated for a flat FRW universe for three viable models of f(T) gravity. We have here considered a non-flat universe and, accordingly, studied the behaviors of the equation-of-state (EoS) parameter ω and of the deceleration parameter q. Subsequently, using the first law of thermodynamics, we derived the expressions for the time derivative of the total entropy of a universe enveloped by apparent horizon. In the next phase, with the choice of scale factor a(t) pertaining to an emergent universe, we have investigated the sign of the time derivatives of total entropy for the models of f(T) gravity considered.
