Abstract: A closed expression is given for the minimum free energy of a linear thermoelectromagnetic conductor, whose constitutive equations relative to the electric current density and to the heat flux have memory effects. This expression, derived in the frequency domain, is related to the maximum recoverable work, which can be obtained from a given state of the material. Another equivalent expression of the minimum free energy is deduced; it allows us to give explicit formulae for the case of a discrete spectrum model.
