| May 14, 2023 at 4:03 | comment | added | Tom Copeland | I really should mention Fermat's, Maupertuis', and Hamilton and Jacobi's principles as well to indicate the traditional use of the term 'principle' in geometric optics and particle propagation. . | |
| May 14, 2023 at 2:59 | comment | added | Tom Copeland | Lawvere mentions the Bellman-Fenchel convolution in "Metric spaces, generalized logic, and closed categories", not directly the Legendre-Fenchel transform, but Bellman and Karush in "The maximum transform" reference Fenchel's "Convex cones, sets, and functions", so I assume they are basically talking about the same constructions, as Willerton indicates. | |
