Legendre transformation
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: Legendre transformations
Etymology: Named after Adrien-Marie Legendre (1752–1852), a French mathematician.
Senses: topics: mathematics
sciences
glosses: Given a function f(x,y,z,...) which is concave up with respect to x (i.e., its second derivative with respect to x is greater than zero), an involutive procedure for replacing x with another variable, say p=∂f/∂x thus yielding another function, say F=F(p,y,z,...). This new function contains all of the information of the original f encoded, as it were, within it so that ∂F/∂p=x and applying a similar transformation to F yields the original f. The formula is: F(p,y,z,...)=p·x(p)-f(x(p),y,z,...) where x must be expressed as a function of p. (Note: The concave upwardness means that ∂f/∂x is monotonically increasing, which means that p as a function of x is invertible, so x should be expressible as a function of p.)
examples: A Legendre transformation looks like this: H=∑ᵢ₌₁ⁿp_i̇q_i-L=∑ᵢ₌₁ⁿ∂L/∂̇q_i̇q_i-L, where the q_i are generalized coordinates, their dotted versions ̇q_i are their time derivatives, the p_i=∂L/∂̇q_i are generalized momenta or conjugate momenta, L=L(q_1,...,q_n;̇q_1,...,̇q_n) is a Lagrangian function and H=H(q_1,...,q_n;p_1,...,p_n) is a Hamiltonian function.
