Dirac Delta Function - Relationship To The Kronecker Delta

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:

    Every relationship that does not raise us up pulls us down, and vice versa; this is why men usually sink down somewhat when they take wives while women are usually somewhat raised up. Overly spiritual men require marriage every bit as much as they resist it as bitter medicine.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
