Review text

This is an expository paper where the author explains the concept of potentiality or reciprocity, and his work in this subject. Some models in physics and engineering can be defined from the differential of a function with real values. Such a function can be the Lagrangian or Hamiltonian in conservative mechanical systems, the internal energy in thermodynamics, the potential in electronic circuits, etc.\ .NEWLINENEWLINEFor the entire collection see [Zbl 0948.00009].
