However, it should be emphasized that although S decreases in some regions, the second law of thermodynamics in f(r) gravity can be always satisfied. S This is because is the cosmological horizon entropy and it is not the total entropy of the universe including the entropy of generic matter. It has been shown that the second law of thermodynamics can be verified in both phantom and non-phantom phases for the same temperature of the universe outside and inside the apparent horizon.

32 IV. Summary We have explicitly shown that the future crossings of the phantom divide are the generic feature in the existing viable f(r) gravity models. We have also illustrated that the cosmological horizon entropy oscillates with time due to the oscillatory behavior of the Hubble parameter. The new cosmological ingredient obtained in this study is that in the future the sign of H ç changes from negative to positive due to the dominance of dark energy over non-relativistic matter. This is a common physical phenomena to the existing viable f(r) models and thus it is one of the peculiar properties of f(r) gravity models characterizing the deviation from the Λ CDM model. No. 32
