A new algorithm, named the Parametric Legendre Transform (PLT) algorithm, to compute the Legendre-Fenchel conjugate of a convex function of one variable is presented. It returns a parameterization of the graph of the conjugate except for some affine parts corresponding to nondifferentiable points of the function. The approach is extended to the computation of the Moreau envelope, resulting in a...

Our main intention in this paper is to demonstrate how some seemingly purely geometric notions can be presented and understood in an analytic language of inequalities and then, with this understanding, can be defined for classes of functions and reveal new and hidden structures in these classes. One main example which we discovered is a new duality transform for convex non-negative functions on...

In this paper we will develop a systematic method to answer the questions (Q1)(Q2)(Q3)(Q4) (stated in Section 1) with complete generality. As a result, we can solve the difficulties (D1)(D2) (discussed in Section 1) without uncertainty. For these purposes we will introduce certain classes of growth functions u and apply the Legendre transform to obtain a sequence which leads to the weight seque...

We show that requiring diffeomorphic equivalence for one-dimensional stationary states implies that the reduced action S0 satisfies the quantum Hamilton-Jacobi equation with the Planck constant playing the role of a covariantizing parameter. The construction shows the existence of a fundamental initial condition which is strictly related to the Möbius symmetry of the Legendre transform and to i...

Hammerstein-Wiener systems present a structure consisting of three serial cascade blocks. Two are static nonlinearities, which can be described with nonlinear functions. The third block represents linear dynamic component placed between the first two Some common model structures include rational-type transfer function, orthogonal rational functions (ORF), finite impulse response (FIR), autoregr...

A relation between the coefficients of Legendre expansions of two-dimensional function and those for the derived function is given. With this relation the normic inequality of two-dimensional viscosity operator is obtained.

Associated Legendre functions arise in many problems of mathematical physics. By using the generalized Abel-Plana formula, in this paper we derive a summation formula for the series over the zeros of the associated Legendre function of the first kind with respect to the degree. The summation formula for the series over the zeros of the Bessel function, previously discussed in the literature, is...

In the generalized Legendre transform construction the Kähler potential is related to a particular function. Here, the form of this function appropriate to the k-monopole metric is calculated from the known twistor theory of monopoles.

We introduce a nonequilibrium grand-canonical ensemble defined by considering the stationary state of driven system particles put in contact with particle reservoir. When an additivity assumption holds for large deviation function density, chemical potential reservoir can be defined. The distribution then takes form similar to equilibrium one. At variance equilibrium, though, probability weight...
