13: 1.17 Integral and Series Representations of the Dirac Delta
In applications in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics, (see Friedman (1990)), the Dirac delta distribution1.16(iii)) is historically and customarily replaced by the Dirac delta (or Dirac delta function) δ ( x ) . … Equations (1.17.12_1) through (1.17.16) may re-interpreted as spectral representations of completeness relations, expressed in terms of Dirac delta distributions, as discussed in §1.18(v), and §1.18(vi) Further mathematical underpinnings are referenced in §1.17(iv). … (1.17.22)–(1.17.24) are special cases of Morse and Feshbach (1953a, Eq. (6.3.11)). …

  • Master Software Index

    In association with the DLMF we will provide an index of all software for the computation of special functions covered by the DLMF. It is our intention that this will become an exhaustive list of sources of software for special functions. In each case we will maintain a single link where readers can obtain more information about the listed software. We welcome requests from software authors (or distributors) for new items to list.

    Note that here we will only include software with capabilities that go beyond the computation of elementary functions in standard precisions since such software is nearly universal in scientific computing environments.
