Abstract

This paper develops an operational calculus for the continuous Legendre transform introduced and studied by Butzer, Stens and Wehrens [1]. It is an extension of the work done by Churchill et al [2], [31 for the discrete case. In particular, a differentiation theorem and a convolution theorem are proved and the results are applied to the solution of some boundary value problems.
