By utilizing the idea of Colombeau's generalized function, we introduce a notion of asymptotic map between arbitrary diffeological spaces. The category consisting of diffeological spaces and asymptotic maps is enriched over the category of…

In this work, standard methods of the mixed thin-shell foramlism are refined using the framework of Colombeau's theory of generalized functions. To this end, systematic use is made of smooth generalized functions, in particular…

We consider distributions on a closed compact manifold $M$ as maps on smoothing operators. Thus spaces of certain maps between $\Psi^{-\infty}(M)\to \mathcal{C}^{\infty}(M)$ are considered as generalized functions. For any collection of…

We prove Banach, Newton-Raphson and Brouwer fixed point theorems in the framework of generalized smooth functions, a minimal extension of Colombeau's theory (and hence of classical distribution theory) which makes it possible to model…

We show that spaces of Colombeau generalized functions with smooth parameter dependence are isomorphic to those with continuous parametrization. Based on this result we initiate a systematic study of algebraic properties of the ring…

We tackle the problem of finding a suitable categorical framework for generalized functions used in mathematical physics for linear and non-linear PDEs. We are looking for a Cartesian closed category which contains both Schwartz…

We introduce a new notion of "regularity structure" that provides an algebraic framework allowing to describe functions and / or distributions via a kind of "jet" or local Taylor expansion around each point. The main novel idea is to…
