First the author has defined a Boolean representation for a subset \(X\) of a set \(U\) in terms of a family of subset of \(U\). He shows that a smooth \(n\)-dimensional manifold in \(\mathbb R^n\) with a boundary admits a Boolean representation. Similarly, he has defined a Boolean representation for \(f\), a real valued function on the set \(U\), in terms of a family of real valued functions on the set \(U\). It is established a Boolean representation for a smooth real valued function on closed convex domains in \(\mathbb R^n\) and investigated the relation between this representation and the Legendre transform. Also it is presented an equivalent representation of a smooth function in terms of the Choquet integral.
