In a former work by the authors, a study involving the topology of singularities with boundary and duality was conducted. Such singularities can be decomposed into two classes of equivalence. There exists an involution which exchanges these classes in such a way that it defines a duality between a singularity and its image. A relationship between the involution and Lagrange and Legendre transformations can also be established. The purpose of this paper is to generalize the action of the Lagrange and Legendre transformations of a singularity with boundary to the corresponding topological objects that were studied by the second author in [\textit{A. Szpirglas}, Bull. Soc. Math. Fr. 118, No. 4, 451-486 (1990; Zbl 0726.58010)].
