Abstract

The macroscopic entropy and the attractor equations for extremal black hole solutions follow from a variational principle based on an entropy function. We review this variational principle for static extremal black holes in four space-time dimensions and we apply it to N=2 supergravity theories with higher-curvature interactions.
