Previously (A. Akhmeteli, J. Math. Phys., v. 52, p. 082303 (2011)), the Dirac equation in an arbitrary electromagnetic field was shown to be generally equivalent to a fourth-order equation for just one component of the four-component Dirac…

We have shown that in some region where the Euler integral of the first kind diverges, the Euler formula defines a generalized function. The connected of this generalized function with the Dirac delta function is found.
