We study the relativistic equation of state (EOS) of dense matter covering a wide range of temperature, proton fraction, and baryon density for the use of supernova simulations. This work is based on the relativistic mean-field theory (RMF) and the Thomas-Fermi approximation. The Thomas-Fermi approximation in combination with assumed nucleon distribution functions and a free energy minimization is adopted to describe the non-uniform matter, which is composed of a lattice of heavy nuclei. We treat the uniform matter and non-uniform matter consistently using the same RMF theory. We compare the EOS tables in detail.
