Generalized Functions play a central role in the understanding of differential equations containing singularities and nonlinearities. Introducing infinitesimals and infinities to deal with these obstructions leads to controversies…
Semilinear maps are a generalization of linear maps between vector spaces where we allow the scalar action to be twisted by a ring homomorphism such as complex conjugation. In particular, this generalization unifies the concepts of linear…

Coalgebras for an endofunctor provide a category-theoretic framework for modeling a wide range of state-based systems of various types. We provide an iterative construction of the reachable part of a given pointed coalgebra that is inspired…
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…
A local existence and uniqueness theorem for ODEs in the special algebra of generalized functions is established, as well as versions including parameters and dependence on initial values in the generalized sense. Finally, a Frobenius…
We consider and provide an accurate study for the fractional Zernike functions on the punctured unit disc, generalizing the classical Zernike polynomials and their associated $\beta$-restricted Zernike functions. Mainly, we give the…
We introduce and study holomorphically finitely generated (HFG) Fr\'echet algebras, which are analytic counterparts of affine (i.e., finitely generated) $\mathbb C$-algebras. Using a theorem of O. Forster, we prove that the category of…
This contribution presents a comprehensive analysis of Colombeau (-type) algebras in the range between the diffeomorphism invariant algebra introduced in Part I and Colombeau's original algebra. Along the way, it provides several…
Using a new definition of generalized divisors we prove that the lattice of such divisors for a given linear partial differential operator is modular and obtain analogues of the well-known theorems of the Loewy-Ore theory of factorization…
The space $D'_\Lambda$ of distributions having their $C^\infty$ wavefront set in a cone $\Lambda$ has become important in physics because of its role in the formulation of quantum field theory in curved spacetime. It is also a basic object…
We elucidate the relation between the two ways of formulating causality in nonlocal quantum field theory: using analytic test functions belonging to the space $S^0$ (which is the Fourier transform of the Schwartz space $\mathcal D$) and…
We analyze integral representation and $\Gamma$-convergence properties of functionals defined on \emph{piecewise rigid functions}, i.e., functions which are piecewise affine on a Caccioppoli partition where the derivative in each component…
Most of the special functions of mathematical physics are connected with the representation of Lie groups. The action of elements $D$ of the associated Lie algebras as linear differential operators gives relations among the functions in a…
We first extend the Peierls algebra of gauge invariant functions from the space ${\cal S}$ of classical solutions to the space ${\cal H}$ of histories used in path integration and some studies of decoherence. We then show that it may be…
We consider pattern spaces of aperiodic and repetitive Delone sets of finite local complexity. These spaces are compact metric spaces and constitute a special class of foliated spaces. We define new Sobolev spaces with respect to the unique…
One can represent Schwartz distributions with values in a vector bundle $E$ by smooth sections of $E$ with distributional coefficients. Moreover, any linear continuous operator which maps $E$-valued distributions to smooth sections of…
We prove a compact embedding theorem in a class of spaces of piecewise H1 functions subordinated to a class of shape regular, but not necessarily quasi-uniform triangulations of a polygonal domain. This result generalizes the…
We present a construction of algebras of generalized functions of Colombeau-type which, instead of asymptotic estimates with respect to a regularization parameter, employs only topological estimates on certain spaces of kernels for its…
We introduce a sheaf theoretic viewpoint on functional analysis designed for infinite dimensional Lie group actions. We develop functional calculus for Banach valued functors and, in particular, prove the existence of an exponential map for…
