Abstract

The generalized second law of black hole thermodynamics was proved by Frolov and Page for a quasi-stationary eternal black hole. However, realistic black holes arise from a gravitational collapse, and in this case their proof does not hold. In this paper we prove the generalized second law for a quasi-stationary black hole which arises from a gravitational collapse.
