Louis Victoire Athanase Dupré (1808–1869) was a French mathematician and physicist noted for his 1860s publications on the mechanical theory of heat (thermodynamics); work that was said to have inspired the publications of engineer Francois Massieu and his Massieu functions; which in turn inspired the work of American engineer Willard Gibbs and his fundamental equations.
François Jacques Dominique Massieu (1832-1896) was a French thermodynamics engineer noted for his two 1869 characteristic functions, each of which known as a Massieu function (the first of which sometimes called free entropy), as cited by American engineer Willard Gibbs in his 1876 On the Equilibrium of Heterogeneous Substances.
