We generalize quasi-arithmetic means beyond scalars by considering the gradient map of a Legendre type real-valued function. The gradient map of a Legendre type function is proven strictly comonotone with a global inverse. It thus yields a…
Conjugation, or Legendre transformation, is a basic tool in convex analysis, rational mechanics, economics and optimization. It maps a function on a linear topological space into another one, defined in the dual of the linear space by…
We introduce and study new transformations between two functions satisfying some basic growth properties and generalize the known lower and upper Legendre conjugate (or envelope). We also investigate how these transformations modify…
The Witten-Dijkgraaf-Verlinde-Verlinde (or WDVV) equations, as one would expect from an integrable system, has many symmetries, both continuous and discrete. One class - the so-called Legendre transformations - were introduced by Dubrovin.…
For two generalized Frobenius manifolds related by a Legendre-type transformation, we show that the associated integrable hierarchies of hydrodynamic type, which are called the Legendre-extended Principal Hierarchies, are related by a…
This study focuses on convex functions and their generalized. Thus, we start this study by giving the definition of convex functions and some of their properties and discussing a simple geometric property. Then we generalize E-convex…
The general framework of Legendre transformation is extended to the case of symplectic groupoids, using an appropriate generalization of the notion of generating function (of a Lagrangian submanifold).
We first prove that the Legendre transform is the only continuous and $\mathrm{SL}(n)$ contravariant valuation that behaves as a conjugation of two important translations on super-coercive, lower semi-continuous, and convex functions. Then…
In this paper a class of classical Hamiltonian systems is geometrically formulated. This class is such that a Hamiltonian can be written as the sum of a kinetic energy function and a potential energy function. In addition, these energy…
A closed-form formula is derived for the generalized Clebsch-Gordan integral $ \int_{-1}^1 {[}P_{\nu}(x){]}^2P_{\nu}(-x)\D x$, with $ P_\nu$ being the Legendre function of arbitrary complex degree $ \nu\in\mathbb C$. The finite Hilbert…
Normality equations describe Newtonian dynamical systems admitting normal shift of hypersurfaces. They were first derived in Euclidean geometry, then in Riemannian geometry. Recently they were rederived in more general case, when geometry…
A class of second-order differential equations commonly arising in physics applications are considered, and their explicit hypergeometric solutions are provided. Further, the relationship with the Generalized and Universal Associated…
Conformal transformations of a Euclidean (complex) plane have some kind of completeness (sufficiency) for the solution of many mathematical and physical-mathematical problems formulated on this plane. There is no such completeness in the…
We investigate metric projections and distance functions referring to convex bodies in finite-dimensional normed spaces. For this purpose we identify the vector space with its dual space by using, instead of the usual identification via the…
We study the existence of a natural `linearisation' process for generalised connections on an affine bundle. It is shown that this leads to an affine generalised connection over a prolonged bundle, which is the analogue of what is called a…
Normality equations describe Newtonian dynamical systems admitting normal shift of hypersurfaces. These equations were first derived in Euclidean geometry. Then very soon they were rederived in Riemannian and in Finslerian geometry.…
In a partially ordered semigroup with the duality (or polarity) transform, it is possible to define a generalisation of continued fractions. General sufficient conditions for convergence of continued fractions with deterministic terms are…
We apply recent knowledge and techniques of the new generalized upper and lower Legendre conjugates to the theory of weight functions in the sense of Braun-Meise-Taylor and study in detail the effects on the corresponding associated weight…
In this article we study Weinstein structures endowed with a Lefschetz fibration in terms of the Legendrian front projection. First we provide a systematic recipe for translating from a Weinstein Lefschetz bifibration to a Legendrian…
The relationship between the Hamiltonian and Lagrangean functions in analytical mechanics is a type of duality. The two functions, while distinct, are both descriptive functions encoding the behavior of the same dynamical system. One…
