Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Lagrangian mechanics, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Pushforward and Configuration space. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Definition of Legendre transformation revert

[edit]

@I dream of horses: Hi StrokeOfMidnight. You recently reverted a change I made to the article Hamiltonian Mechanics. The statement made there is that the Legendre transformation is a change of coordinates . This is not the ordinary mathematical definition of Legendre transformation. It may be a definition I am not aware of, but nowhere in the article Legendre transformation is this alternate definition described, which is why I think it may be confusing to use this definition in the article Hamiltonian Mechanics. In your revert, you say that "nothing wrong with defining Legendre transformation briefly while linking to the relevant article; doing so doesn't hurt anything while increasing readability," but I am not sure how this comment addresses the reasons that I edited the article. I am interested in your point of view on this. Thanks. 67.189.39.2 (talk) 02:01, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please refer to Legendre transformation on manifolds (same article). You can safely skip the general definition. In the second paragraph, you can assume that the configuration space The rest should speak for itself. Without me quoting this particular definition in Hamiltonian mechanics, the reader may have the hardest time indeed trying to connect the dots. StrokeOfMidnight (talk) 03:52, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@I dream of horses: OK, that's fine. I find the other definition greatly preferable, partially because the Legendre transform of the Lagrangian will actually be the Hamiltonian, but I'll leave it as it is. I did add something to clarify that the coordinate change is actually the Legendre transform of rather than the Legendre transform itself.

There used to be a "Terminology remark" that defined the Hamiltonian exactly as you like, but, for some reason, you edited that remark out. StrokeOfMidnight (talk) 06:07, 26 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@I dream of horses: I edited it out because it was unnecessary when combined with the other changes I made. Now that we are sticking with the less standard definition, it probably makes sense to add the Terminology remark back as well.Subrosar (talk) 19:30, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@I dream of horses:By the way, do you know a reference for the "manifold" definition of the Legendre transform? Subrosar (talk) 19:46, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Subrosar Why do you keep pinging me when you're talking to StrokeOfMidnight? I dream of horses (Contribs) (Talk) 19:47, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Subrosar: Here is the article on (smooth) manifolds. Not sure if L.T. links to it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StrokeOfMidnight (talkcontribs) 21:36, 27 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DRN

[edit]

Hi StrokeOfMidnight,

I am kind of new to the English Wikipedia, so I don't how everything works. I wrote more than 100 mathematics articles in the German and French Wikipedia. But since you didn't respond and tagged me on this DRN page. I tell you about me, I have 10 years experience in probability and functional analysis. I read your text, I have a different opinion. I want to help people and mathematics. So I disagree with your "quality over quantity" argument regarding the "countably valued funtions". But if you want to discus why the term should not be on Wikipedia and also discus mathematics itself we can. --Tensorproduct (talk) 08:29, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
