Transport of a Dirac point mass
ID: transport-of-a-dirac-point-mass
For the constant-velocity linear transport equation , a Dirac delta distribution initially at zero moves along . Its spacetime distribution pairs by , and its initial trace is obtained by weak convergence of distributions. The Fourier representation of the Dirac delta function writes it as an oscillatory integral with phase function . Its singular support is precisely the trajectory; it has order-zero distribution regularity as a measure, without becoming a smooth function.
