Entropy and Energy of Static Spherically Symmetric Black Hole in $f(R)$ theory

Abstract

We consider the new horizon first law in $f(R)$ theory with general spherically symmetric black hole. We derive the general formulas to computed the entropy and energy of the black hole. For applications, some nontrivial black hole solutions in some popular $f(R)$ theories are investigated, the entropies and the energies of black holes in these models are first calculated.
