We introduce a new class of multiplications of distributions in one dimension merging together two different regularizations of distributions. Some of the features of these multiplications are discussed in a certain detail. We use our…
In a previous paper we have introduced a class of multiplications of distributions in one dimension. Here we furnish different generalizations of the original definition and we discuss some applications of these procedures to the…
As follows from the Schwartz Impossibility Theorem, multiplication of two distributions is in general impossible. Nevertheless, often one needs to multiply a distribution by a discontinuous function, not by an arbitrary distribution. In the…
A new definition of a fractional derivative has recently been developed, making use of a fractional Dirac delta function as its integral kernel. This derivative allows for the definition of a distributional fractional derivative, and as…
Possibilities for defining the radial derivative of the delta distribution $\delta(\underline{x})$ in the setting of spherical coordinates are explored. This leads to the introduction of a new class of continuous linear functionals similar…
We present the construction of a theory of distributions (generalized functions) with a ``thick submanifold'', that is, a new theory of thick distributions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ whose domain contains a smooth submanifold on which the test…
Dirac delta function of matrix argument is employed frequently in the development of diverse fields such as Random Matrix Theory, Quantum Information Theory, etc. The purpose of the article is pedagogical, it begins by recalling detailed…
In this paper, we describe the line Dirac delta function of a curve in three-dimensional space in terms of the distance function to the curve. Its extension to level set formulation and plane curves are also developed. The main ideas can be…
When expressing a distribution in Euclidean space in spherical co-ordinates, derivation with respect to the radial and angular co-ordinates is far from trivial. Exploring the possibilities of defining a radial derivative of the…
The theory of thick distributions (both in dimension 1 and in higher dimensions) was constructed in recent years [7, 27]. However this theory of distributions with one thick point in dimension one is very different from that in higher…
If $T$ is a (densely defined) self-adjoint operator acting on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ and $I$ stands for the identity operator, we introduce the delta function operator $\lambda \mapsto \delta \left(\lambda I-T\right) $ at…
This paper introduces the expanded real numbers as an ordered subring of the hyperreal number field that does not contain any infinitesimals, and defines the set of all integrable functions from the real numbers to the expanded real…
A theoretical framework is developed to describe the transformation that distributes probability density functions uniformly over space. In one dimension, the cumulative distribution can be used, but does not generalize to higher…
We prove the formula for the second order "thick" distributional derivative of 1/r in 3 dimensional Euclidean space. This formula generalizes the well known Frahm formulas for the distributional derivatives of 1/r.
In one dimension one can dissect a scattering potential $ v(x) $ into pieces $ v_i(x) $ and use the notion of the transfer matrix to determine the scattering content of $ v(x) $ from that of $ v_i(x) $. This observation has numerous…
The definition of a non-trivial space of generalized functions of a complex variable allowing to consider derivatives of continuous functions is a non-obvious task, e.g. because of Morera theorem, because distributional Cauchy-Riemann…
By applying projection operators to state vectors of coordinates we obtain subspaces in which these states are no longer normalized according to Dirac's delta function but normalized according to what we call "incomplete delta functions".…
The beta distribution is a basic distribution serving several purposes. It is used to model data, and also, as a more flexible version of the uniform distribution, it serves as a prior distribution for a binomial probability. The bivariate…
We prove an integral representation and a power series expansion for the function $\det(A)^{-1}$ in a small neighborhood of the identity matrix. Both results are closely linked to the formula for the change of coordinates of the Dirac delta…
Recently Sasane defined a notion of evaluating a distribution at a point using delta sequences. In this paper, we explore the relationship between generalizations of his definition and the standard definition of distributional point values.…
