## Abstract

Authors of ref. \[1\], M.R. Setare and S. Shafei (JCAP 09 (2006) 011), studied the thermodynamics of a holographic dark energy model in a non-flat universe enclosed by the apparent horizon $R\_A$ and the event horizon measured from the sphere of the horizon named $L$. In section 3 in ref. \[1\], Authors showed that for $R\_A$ the generalized second law of thermodynamics is respected, while for $L$ it is satisfied for the special range of the deceleration parameter. Here we present that their calculations for $R\_A$ should be revised. Also we show that their conclusion for $L$ is not true and the generalized second law is hold for the present time independently of the deceleration parameter. Also if we take into account the contribution of dark matter in the generalized second law which is absent in ref. \[1\], then the generalized second law for $L$ is violated for the present time.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
