We investigate five-dimensional static (non-)extremal black hole solutions in
higher derivative Anti-de Sitter gravity theories with neutral scalars
non-minimally coupled to gauge fields. We explicitly identify the boundary
counterterms to regularize the gravitational action and the stress tensor. We
illustrate these results by applying the method of holographic renormalization
to computing thermodynamical properties in several concrete examples. We also
construct numerical extremal black hole solutions and discuss the attractor
mechanism by using the entropy function formalism.Comment: 30 pages, 4 figures; V2: comments on holographic renormalization
