  1. What Exactly is Dirac's Delta Function? - Physics Forums

    Aug 29, 2025 · Dirac’s delta function is considered (notation for) a distribution. Specifically it is (and its derivatives are) expressed in terms of the Radon-Nikodym derivative (s) of the …

  2. What is the value of a delta function? - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Feb 12, 2021 · The Dirac delta function, $\delta (t)$, used in continuous time integrals, is different from the Kronecker delta function, $\delta [n]$, used in discrete time summations. Their effect …

  3. Dirac's Delta function - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    Aug 25, 2019 · On Wikipedia, the definition of the dirac delta function is given as: Suppose I have a function where at two points, the function goes to infinity. Given that the distance between …

  4. Is it meaningful to define the Dirac delta function as infinity at zero ...

    Mar 15, 2021 · The $\delta$ -"function" is, as others have said, not a function; rather, it's just something which can be integrated, which is not quite the same thing! Making this rigorous …

  5. The physical units of the Dirac delta function

    Oct 11, 2020 · Sometimes considering the delta function is dimensionless is fine but the dimension needs to be fixed by its coefficient, namely the coefficient of the delta function …

  6. definition - Is the Dirac Delta "Function" really a function ...

    The part which I can not understand why the Delta "function" makes sense only when it acts on another function and that too only inside an integral and how is a "functional" or "distribution" …

  7. How to solve integration with Dirac Delta function?

    Aug 25, 2015 · Its unique characteristics do not end there though, because when integrating the Dirac Delta function we would get $$ \int_ {-\infty}^\infty \delta (x) dx = 1$$

  8. Integration of delta function over two variables - Physics Forums

    Dec 20, 2016 · Homework Statement I have ##\\int dx \\int dy \\delta (x^{2}+y^{2}-E) ## [1] I have only seen expressions integrating over ##\\delta## where the ##x## or the ##y## appear …

  9. Fourier Representation of Dirac's Delta Function

    Sep 4, 2020 · From what I currently understand about this topic the equation above should be the Fourier representation of the Dirac's Delta Function, however I don't see how to prove it. …

  10. Derivatives of the Dirac delta function - Mathematics Stack Exchange

    May 31, 2016 · For instance, the Heaviside step function is not weakly differentiable but its distributional derivative is the delta function. I have never seen the word "derivable" used in …
