Phys. Rev. D 56, 2192–2201 (1997)New proof of the generalized second lawReceived 6 September 1996; published in the issue dated 15 August 1997 The generalized second law of black-hole thermodynamics was proved by Frolov and Page [Phys. Rev. Lett. 71, 3902 (1993)] for a quasistationary eternal black hole. However, realistic black holes arise from gravitational collapse, and in this case their proof does not hold. In this paper we prove the generalized second law for a quasistationary black hole that arises from gravitational collapse. © 1997 The American Physical Society URL:
