Abstract:

The analytic properties of continuous Legendre transform $F(\lambda )$ of a function $f(t)$ holomorphic in an elliptical neighborhood of the real interval $[ - 1,1]$ are investigated. It is shown to be an entire function of exponential type whose Borel transform $g(z)$ has a singularity at ${z_0}$ if and only if $f(t)$ has one at ${t_0}$ where ${z_0} = \cosh {t_0}$. The proof involves a modification of "Hadamard’s argument" on multiplication of singularities. The result may also be interpreted as a statement about the second continuous Legendre transform which gives $f(t)$ in terms of $F(\lambda )$.
