Uniqueness theorems for the entropy in any differential body of complexity one (Q1200355)

The author studied the uniqueness theorems for the entropy in any differential body of complexity one. In his previous paper on the same subject he proved the uniqueness theorems for the response functions of the internal energy and of the equilibrium stress, by using mutual physical equivalence between admissible response functions for the heat flux. In the present work the author showed that this last result also holds if one does not impose the condition of physical equivalence. He proved the validity of this result in three ways. In the first proof, he used the assumption that the response functions are Euclidean invariants. In the second proof, he used a weaker assumption of Galilean invariance and a greater degree of smoothness of the response function for the internal energy. The third proof of the uniqueness property for the entropy is independent of the isolation axiom and uses the assumption of the second proof. This work may find some readers working in the area of differential bodies.
