Abstract
We now focus mainly on the case ofmaterials characterized by memory kernels with only isolated singularities and derive explicit expressions for a family of free energies, including the minimum free energy discussed in Chapter 10 and the maximum free energy, which, in this context, will turn out to be less than the work function. All of these will be shown to be functionals of the minimal state.
