kDirac Delta Function

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

δ(x) = {0,xx ≠x0 δ( ), = 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
