We construct the equation of state (EOS) of dense matter covering a wide range of temperature, proton fraction, and density for the use of core-collapse supernova simulations. The study is based on the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory, which can provide an excellent description of nuclear matter and finite nuclei. 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 present two sets of EOS tables, namely EOS2 and EOS3. EOS2 is an update of our earlier work published in 1998 (EOS1), where only the nucleon degree of freedom is taken into account. EOS3 includes additional contributions from. hyperons. The effect of. hyperons on the EOS is negligible in the low-temperature and low-density region, whereas it tends to soften the EOS at high density. In comparison with EOS1, EOS2 and EOS3 have an improved design of ranges and grids, which covers the temperature range T = 0.1-10(2.6) MeV with the logarithmic grid spacing Delta log(10)(T/[MeV]) = 0.04 (92 points including T = 0), the proton fraction range Y-p = 0-0.65 with the linear grid spacing Delta Y-p = 0.01 (66 points), and the density range rho(B) = 10(5.1)-10(16) g cm (3) with the logarithmic grid spacing Delta log(10)(rho(B)/[g cm (3)]) = 0.1 (110 points).
