Relationship To The Kronecker Delta
The Kronecker delta is the quantity defined by
for all integers i, j. This function then satisfies the following analog of the sifting property: if is any doubly infinite sequence, then
Similarly, for any real or complex valued continuous function ƒ on R, the Dirac delta satisfies the sifting property
This exhibits the Kronecker delta function as a discrete analog of the Dirac delta function.

Famous quotes containing the word relationship:
“Christianity as an organized religion has not always had a harmonious relationship with the family. Unlike Judaism, it kept almost no rituals that took place in private homes. The esteem that monasticism and priestly celibacy enjoyed implied a denigration of marriage and parenthood.”
