In mathematical analysis, the Dirac delta function (or δ distribution ), also known as the unit impulse, [1] is a generalized function on the real numbers, whose value is zero everywhere except at zero, and whose integral over the entire real line is equal to one. [2] [3] [4] Since there is no function having this property, to model the delta ...
