Legendre Transformation and its Applications

We present the Legendre transformation in a geometric way based on the procedure of the Legendrian lift. This approach allows us to understand some interesting properties of it, in particular, the reason for the appearance of singularities of dual curves. Also we consider application of the Legendre transformation to the Clairaut differential equation. Finally, we say a few words class of contact transformations and present an infinite group of contact transformations different from the Legendre transformation. © 2025 ASSA.
