Abstract--By analogy with the DBF model of optically-active electromagnetic media, some generalizations are considered so that memory effects are incorporated. Next, thermodynamic restrictions are derived. It turns out that, via suitable restrictions, the DBF model is compatible with thermodynamics. Also, the analogous terms in a model for nongyrotropic solids are not allowed. The appropriate modification for such a model is indicated.

Electromagnetic media are modelled through linear functionals of the history of the electric and magnetic fields. Detailed thermodynamic restrictions are derived for the tensor-valued coefficients and kernels occurring in the functionals. A connection with the Kramers-Kronig relations is established
