Dirac delta function

In mathematical analysis, the Dirac delta function (or δ {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\delta }}} distribution), also known as the unit impulse, is a generalized function on the real numbers, whose value is zero everywhere except at zero, where it is infinite, and whose integral over the entire real line is equal to one. Thus it can be represented…
