kDirac Delta Function

“delta” is the Dirac Delta function. The delta function evaluates numerically as shown below.

δ { 0, x 0 (x) = δ(x), x = 0

Non-numeric expressions passed to the delta function are left unevaluated. The integral of a linear delta function is a Heaviside function.

Syntax: delta(x)

x : variable or number

Examples:

knth Delta Function

The nth-delta function is the nth differential of the delta function.

Syntax: delta(x, n)

x : variable or number

n : number of differentials
