In this work, a subclass of the generalized Kerr-Schild class of spacetimes is specified, with respect to which the Ricci tensor (regardless of the position of indices) proves to be linear in the so-called profile function of the geometry.…
The Dirac delta function is widely used in many areas of physics and mathematics. Here we consider the generalization of a Dirac delta function to allow the use of complex arguments. We show that the properties of a generalized delta…
Applying the distributional formalism to study the dynamics of thin shells in general relativity, we regain the junction equations for matching of two spherically symmetric spacetimes separated by a singular hypersurface. In particular, we…
Moreau-Yosida regularization is introduced into the framework of exact DFT. Moreau-Yosida regularization is a lossless operation on lower semicontinuous proper convex functions over separable Hilbert spaces, and when applied to the…
On some specified convex supporting sets of spheres, we find a generalized longitude function whose level sets are totally geodesic. Given an arbitrary (weakly) harmonic map into spheres, the composition of the generalized longitude…
A new generalization of curvature modified plasma dispersion functions is introduced in order to express Dupree renormalized dispersion relations used in quasi-linear theory. For instance the Dupree renormalized dispersion relation for…
We develop a universal distributional calculus for regulated volumes of metrics that are singular along hypersurfaces. When the hypersurface is a conformal infinity we give simple integrated distribution expressions for the divergences and…
The theory of distributions provides generalized solutions for problems which do not have a classical solution. However, there are problems which do not have solutions, not even in the space of distributions. As model problem you may think…
This is the first paper of a series of two devoted to develop a practical method to describe the growth history of bound virialized objects in the gravitational instability scenario without resorting to $N$-body simulations. Here we present…
Recently, the forward-backward and Douglas-Rachford envelope functions were proposed in the literature. The stationary points of these envelope functions have a close relationship with the solutions of the possibly nonsmooth optimization…
We generalize the recently developped "internal" Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Kohn-Sham scheme to multicomponent systems. We obtain a general formalism, applicable for the description of multicomponent self-bound systems (as…
The concept of generalized functions taking values in a differentiable manifold is extended to a functorial theory. We establish several characterization results which allow a global intrinsic formulation both of the theory of…
We extend the functional analytic approach to Colombeau-type spaces of nonlinear generalized functions in order to study algebras of tempered generalized functions. We obtain a definition of Fourier transform of nonlinear generalized…
We construct an algebra of generalized functions $^*\mathcal{E}(\mathbb{R}^d)$. We also construct an embedding of the space of Schwartz distributions $\mathcal{D}^\prime(\mathbb{R}^d)$ into $^*\mathcal{E}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ and thus present a…
We present some remarks about the embedding of spaces of Schwartz distributions into spaces of Colombeau generalized functions. We show that the various constructions of such embeddings existing in the literature lead in fact to the same…
In \cite{bf} Br\'ezis and Friedman prove that certain nonlinear parabolic equations, with the $\delta$-measure as initial data, have no solution. However in \cite{cl} Colombeau and Langlais prove that these equations have a unique solution…
Despite the increasing use of the Particle Finite Element Method (PFEM) in fluid flow simulation and the outstanding success of the Generalized-alpha time integration method, very little discussion has been devoted to their combined…
Regularity theory in generalized function algebras of Colombeau type is largely based on the notion of ${\mathcal G}^\infty$-regularity, which reduces to $C^\infty$-regularity when restricted to Schwartz distributions. Surprisingly, in the…
We justify the way of the direct quantization which means immediate quantization of a conservation law. It is shown that this approach is equivalent to introducing the super Hamiltonian on a minisuperspace in spirit of the Wheeler-DeWitt's…
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…
