The Orlicz–Legendre ellipsoids, which are in the framework of emerging
dual Orlicz Brunn–Minkowski theory, are introduced for the first time. They are in
some sense dual to the recently found Orlicz–John ellipsoids, and have largely generalized
the classical Legendre ellipsoid of inertia. Several new affine isoperimetric
inequalities are established. The connection between the characterization of Orlicz–
Legendre ellipsoids and isotropy of measures is demonstrated.
