It is proved that the neutrix composition δ (rsm pm) (x 1/rm + /(1 + x 1/m + )) exists for r, s, m 1, 2, 3... and p, 1, 2,..., rs 1. AMS Subject Classifications: 46F1. Keywords: Distribution, Dirac-delta function, composition of distributions, neutrix, neutrix limit. 1 Introduction In distribution theory, no meaning can be generally given to expressions of the form F (f(x)), where F and f are distributions. However, the compositions δ(f) and δ (f), where f is a surface in three-dimensional space, appear in wave propagation problems, see [2, 3]. Furthermore, in physics, one finds the need to evaluate δ 2 when calculating the transition rates of certain particle interaction (see [8]). The technique of neglecting appropriately defined infinite quantities was devised by Hadamard, and the resulting finite value extracted from a divergent integral is referred to as the Hadamard finite part. In fact, his method can be regarded as a particular application of the neutrix calculus developed by van der Corput (see [1]).

5 Brian Fisher and Emin Özçağ Using the concepts of a neutrix and neutrix limit, the first author gave a general principle for the discarding of unwanted infinite quantities from asymptotic expansions, and this has been exploited particularly in connection with multiplication, convolution and composition of distributions, see [4, 5]. Using Fisher s definition, Koh and Li gave meaning to δ r and (δ ) r for r 2, 3,..., see [1], and the more general form (δ (s) (x)) r was considered by Kou and Fisher in [11]. Recently the rth powers of the Dirac distribution and the Heaviside function for negative integers have been defined in [13] and [14], respectively. In the following, we let D be the space of infinitely differentiable functions ϕ with compact support and let D[a, b] be the space of infinitely differentiable functions with support contained in the interval [a, b]. We let D be the space of distributions defined on D and let D [a, b] be the space of distributions defined on D[a, b]. Now let ρ(x) be a function in D having the following properties: (i) ρ(x) for x 1, (ii) ρ(x), (iii) ρ(x) ρ( x), (iv) ρ(x) dx 1. Putting δ n (x) nρ(nx) for n 1, 2,..., it follows that {δ n (x)} is a regular sequence of infinitely differentiable functions converging to the Dirac delta-function δ(x). Further, if F is a distribution in D and F n (x) F (x t), δ n (x), then {F n (x)} is a regular sequence of infinitely differentiable functions converging to F (x). Now let f(x) be an infinitely differentiable function having a single simple root at the point x x. Gel fand and Shilov defined the distribution δ (r) (f(x)) by the equation [ ] r δ (r) 1 1 (f(x)) δ(x x f (x ) f (x) d ), dx for r, 1, 2,..., see [9]. In order to give a more general definition for the composition of distributions, the following definition for the neutrix composition of distributions was given in [4] and was originally called the composition of distributions. Definition 1.1. Let F be a distribution in D and let f be a locally summable function. We say that the neutrix composition F (f(x)) exists and is equal to h on the open interval (a, b) if N lim F n (f(x))ϕ(x)dx h(x), ϕ(x)

A Result on the Neutrix Composition of the Delta Function 51 for all ϕ in D[a, b], where F n (x) F (x) δ n (x) for n 1, 2,... and N is the neutrix, see [1], having domain N the positive integers and range N the real numbers, with negligible functions which are finite linear sums of the functions n λ ln r n, ln r n : λ >, r 1, 2,... and all functions which converge to zero in the usual sense as n tends to infinity. In particular, we say that the composition F (f(x)) exists and is equal to h on the open interval (a, b) if lim F n (f(x))ϕ(x)dx h(x), ϕ(x) for all ϕ in D[a, b]. Note that taking the neutrix limit of a function f(n) is equivalent to taking the usual limit of Hadamard s finite part of f(n). The following theorems were proved in [6, 7, 12] respectively. Theorem 1.2. The neutrix composition δ (s) (sgn x x λ ) exists and δ (s) (sgn x x λ ) for s, 1, 2,... and (s + 1)λ 1, 3,... and δ (s) (sgn x x λ ) ()(s+1)(λ+1) s! λ[(s + 1)λ 1]! δ((s+1)λ) (x) for s, 1, 2,... and (s + 1)λ 2, 4,.... Theorem 1.3. The neutrix composition δ (rs m) [x 1/r + )] exists and δ (rs m) [x 1/r + )] s () rs m+k (rs m)! for r, s 1, 2,... and m 1, 2,..., rs, where ( ) rs m + 1 if rs m + 1 <. In particular, we have for r 2, 3,... and δ[x 1/r + )] δ[x + /(1 + x + )] 1 2 δ(x). ( rs m + 1 ) δ (k) (x),

We will first of all prove equation (2.1) on the interval [, 1]. To do this, we need to evaluate (rsm pm) [x 1/rm + ) 1/m ] dx (rsm pm) [(x 1/r /(1 + x 1/r )) 1/m ] dx + n rsm pm x k ρ (rsm pm) [nx 1/rm /(1 + x 1/r ) 1/m ] dx +n rsm pm x k ρ (rsm pm) () dx I 1 + I 2.

Next, we have x s δ n (rsm pm) [x 1/rm /(1 + x 1/r ) 1/m ] dx rmn rm pm t rm(s+1) (1 t m /n n ) r(s+1)+1 ρ(rsm pm) (t) dt, O(n rm pm ) and so if ψ(x) is an arbitrary continuous function, then lim for r, s, m 1, 2,....
