Definition Of

We describe a sense in which mesh duality is equivalent to Legendre duality. That is, a general pair of meshes, which satisfy a definition of duality for meshes, are shown to be the projection of a pair of piecewise linear functions that are dual to each other in the sense of a Legendre dual transformation. In applications the latter functions can be a tangent plane approximation to a smoother function, and a chordal plane approximation to its Legendre dual. Convex examples include one from meteorology, and also the relation between the Delaunay mesh and the Voronoi tessellation. The latter are shown to be the projections of tangent plane and chordal approximations to the same paraboloid.
