Dirac delta function by Ciro Santilli 37 Updated +Created
The "0-width" pulse distribution that integrates to a step.
There's not way to describe it as a classical function, making it the most important example of a distribution.
Applications:
The Dirac delta function, often denoted as \(\delta(x)\), is a mathematical construct used primarily in physics and engineering to represent a point source or an idealized distribution of mass, charge, or other quantities. Despite being called a "function," the Dirac delta is not a function in the traditional sense but rather a distribution or a "generalized function.
