i wonder whether the table is screwed; how can a = a + b. I think somebody tried to show how the generating functions are somehow related to legendre transforms (i.e. F2(q,P,t) = F1(q,Q,t) + QP), but i am not sure. Also, why do some of them have a positive sign for the legendre transform, something i dont understand? anton

You are right the indices screwed up. I fixed it Piti131.215.7.198 11:06, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand where the following statement comes from: "The generating function, F, for this transformation is of the 3rd kind," Is this supposed to be obvious? Level17 (talk) 08:49, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
