The R1/4 luminosity law has often been used as an observational constraint in the construction of self-consistent models of ellipticals. In contrast, in this and in the following paper, developing some ideas proposed in the past (BS8A, SB85), we investigate certain theoretical arguments that may lead to a dynamical justification of this important empirical law.
