Abstract The Dirac <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong>, the idealization of an<br />
impulse in Radar circuits, is a Hyper-Real function which<br />
definition and analysis require Infinitesimal Calculus, and<br />
Infinite Hyper-reals.<br />
The controversy surrounding the Leibnitz Infinitesimals derailed<br />
the development of the Infinitesimal Calculus, and the <strong>Delta</strong><br />
<strong>Function</strong> could not be defined and investigated properly.<br />
For instance, it is labeled a “Generalized <strong>Function</strong>” although it<br />
generalizes no function.<br />
Dirac’s intuitive definition by <strong>Delta</strong>’s sampling property<br />
x =∞<br />
∫<br />
x =−∞<br />
δ(<br />
xdx ) = 1,<br />
that avoids specifying δ(0)<br />
, remains the main definition of the<br />
delta function, although the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> is not Riemann<br />
integrable in the Calculus of Limits, and is not Lebesgue<br />
integrable in Measure Theory.<br />
In fact, in the Calculus of Limits, only the Cauchy Principal Value<br />

Integral of the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> exists, and it equals zero.<br />
Only in Infinitesimal Calculus, can the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> be defined,<br />
differentiated, and integrated.<br />
Infinitesimal Calculus allows us to resolve open problems such as<br />
What is δ(0)<br />
?<br />
How is xδ( x)<br />
defined at x = 0 ?<br />
How is the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> the derivative of a Step <strong>Function</strong>?<br />
How do we integrate the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong>?<br />

0.1 Cauchy, Poisson, and Riemann<br />
Cauchy (1816), and Poisson (1815) derived the Fourier Integral<br />
Theorem by using the sifting property of the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong>.<br />

the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> is the Fourier Transform of the constant<br />
function 1,<br />
And Fourier Integral theorem states the sifting property for the<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong><br />
ξ=∞<br />

In the derivation of his Zeta <strong>Function</strong>, Riemann (1859) uses this<br />
sifting property repeatedly, without using a function notation for<br />

that represents the <strong>Delta</strong> function<br />
δξ− ( x)<br />
. The derivations are in [Dan4, p.84, p.90, p.97].<br />
The derivations were not supplied by Riemann. Riemann’s 1859<br />
paper, as well as much of Riemann’s published writings, outlines<br />
ideas, and states results without proof.<br />
In particular, the representation of <strong>Delta</strong> that follows from the<br />
Fourier Integral Theorem does not hold in the Calculus of Limits.<br />
Indeed,<br />
and the integral<br />
diverges.<br />

ξ = x ⇒ e = 1,<br />

k =∞<br />
∫<br />
k =−∞<br />
−ik( ξ−x)<br />
e dk<br />
Avoiding the singularity at ξ = x does not recover the Theorem,<br />
because without the singularity the integral equals zero.<br />
Thus, the Fourier Integral Theorem cannot be written in the<br />
Calculus of Limits.<br />
In other words, the indeterminate nature of singularities in the<br />
Calculus of Limits does not allow the Fourier Integral Theorem to<br />
hold.<br />

0.2 Dirac<br />
The <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> can be realized as a Radar transmission<br />
Pulse. A Radar Transmission has to be pulsed because a<br />
continuous wave train will not allow us to measure the time<br />
interval τ between transmission and reception, and determine the<br />
range of the target by<br />
r = cτ.<br />
1<br />
2<br />
Thus, a transmission lasts very short time. Then, the Radar<br />
system converts into a receiver for the reflected signal. This<br />
process of transmitting and receiving repeats thousands of time<br />
per second, in order to follow a moving target.<br />
The Radar pulse envelops a carrier wave of very short wavelength.<br />
Radar carrier waves went down from centimeters to micrometers<br />
of light wavelength.<br />
1<br />
Since the illuminating power dissipation is proportional to 2 r<br />
, the<br />
short electromagnetic wave-train has an electric field that seems<br />
nearly infinite, although the pulse power is finite.<br />
Dirac (1930) was familiar with Radar Pulses when he defined the<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> in [Dirac, p.71] through the sifting property,<br />
and<br />
x =∞<br />
∫<br />
x =−∞<br />
δ(<br />
xdx ) = 1,<br />

δ ( x)<br />
= 0,<br />
for all x ≠ 0 .<br />
Dirac definition left open the question of the nearly infinite<br />
amplitude at x = 0 . That is, δ(0)<br />
was left undefined.<br />
Then, the sifting property does not hold.<br />
Indeed, since δ (0) is infinite, the integration of δ(<br />
x)<br />
has to skip<br />
the point x = 0 , and only the Cauchy Principal Value of the<br />
x =∞<br />
∫<br />
integral δ(<br />
xdx ) may exist. Then,<br />
x =−∞<br />

Laurent Schwartz presents his <strong>Delta</strong> Distribution as follows<br />

Let Y = ⎪<br />

⎪<br />

x=∞ x=∞<br />
∫ ∫<br />
Y '( x) ϕ( x) dx =− Y( x) ϕ'(<br />
x) dx<br />
x=−∞ x=−∞<br />
Thus,<br />
x =∞<br />
∫<br />
=− ϕ'( xdx ) =−ϕ(<br />
x)<br />
x = 0<br />
= ϕ(0)<br />
x =∞<br />
= ∫ δ( x) ϕ(<br />
x) dx<br />
x =−∞<br />
Y ' = δ .<br />
ϕ(0) = ∫ δ( x) ϕ(<br />
x) dx<br />
x =∞<br />
x = 0<br />
Since Yx ( ) is not defined at x = 0 , Y '(0) is not defined, and the<br />
conclusion Y ' = δ , avoids δ(0)<br />
.<br />
That is, Schwartz’ Definition is as incomplete as Dirac’s.<br />
Furthermore, the equality<br />
x =∞<br />
x =−∞<br />
is the definition of the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> by its sifting property that<br />
does not hold.<br />
Since δ(0)<br />
is not defined, the integration has to skip the point<br />
x = 0 , and the integral is the Cauchy Principal Value Integral<br />

Like the Dirac <strong>Delta</strong>, the Schwartz <strong>Delta</strong> avoids δ(0)<br />
, and<br />
postulates the sifting property.<br />
0.4 <strong>Delta</strong> Sequence<br />
Attempts to get back to the singular <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong>, replaced the<br />
<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> by a <strong>Delta</strong> Sequence of functions that converge to<br />
the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong>. For instance,<br />

Then, the delta <strong>Function</strong> is defined as the limit<br />
δ( x) = lim δ ( x)<br />
.<br />
n→∞<br />

2n 2n<br />
The sequential approach is reviewed in [Mikusinski], and is used<br />
in Mathematical Physics texts.<br />
However, the <strong>Delta</strong> Sequence contradicts Dirac’s definition.<br />
Indeed, as n →∞,<br />
δ(0) = lim δ (0) = lim n = ∞.<br />

Then, the integration of δ( x)<br />

0.5 The Hyper-real <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong><br />
The above attempts failed because the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> is a hyper-<br />
real function. A function from the hyper-reals into the hyper-<br />
reals.<br />
By resolving the problem of the infinitesimals [Dan2], we obtained<br />
the Infinite Hyper-reals that are strictly smaller than ∞ , and can<br />
serve to supply the value of the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> at the singularity.<br />
The attempts to get by with Calculus restricted to the real line,<br />
deprived Calculus of its full power. In Infinitesimal Calculus,<br />
[Dan3], we differentiate over a jump discontinuity of a step<br />
function, and obtain the <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong>. We can integrate over a<br />
singularity, and obtain a finite value.<br />

Hyper-real Line<br />
Each real number α can be represented by a Cauchy sequence of<br />
rational numbers, ( r1, r2, r3,...) so that rn α . →<br />
The constant sequence ( ααα , , ,...) is a constant hyper-real.<br />
In [Dan2] we established that,<br />
1. Any totally ordered set of positive, monotonically decreasing<br />
to zero sequences ( ι , ι , ι ,...) constitutes a family of<br />
infinitesimal hyper-reals.<br />
1 2 3<br />
2. The infinitesimals are smaller than any real number, yet<br />
strictly greater than zero.<br />
1 1 1<br />
3. Their reciprocals ( , , ,...<br />
ι1 ι2 ι ) are the infinite hyper-reals.<br />
3<br />
4. The infinite hyper-reals are greater than any real number,<br />
yet strictly smaller than infinity.<br />
5. The infinite hyper-reals with negative signs are smaller<br />
than any real number, yet strictly greater than −∞.<br />
6. The sum of a real number with an infinitesimal is a<br />
non-constant hyper-real.<br />
7. The Hyper-reals are the totality of constant hyper-reals, a<br />
family of infinitesimals, a family of infinitesimals with<br />
12
<strong>Gauge</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> Journal, Volume 8, No. 1, February 2012 H. Vic Dannon<br />
negative sign, a family of infinite hyper-reals, a family of<br />
infinite hyper-reals with negative sign, and non-constant<br />
hyper-reals.<br />
8. The hyper-reals are totally ordered, and aligned along a<br />
line: the Hyper-real Line.<br />
9. That line includes the real numbers separated by the non-<br />
constant hyper-reals. Each real number is the center of an<br />
interval of hyper-reals, that includes no other real number.<br />
10. In particular, zero is separated from any positive real<br />
by the infinitesimals, and from any negative real by the<br />
infinitesimals with negative signs, −dx<br />
.<br />
11. Zero is not an infinitesimal, because zero is not strictly<br />
greater than zero.<br />
12. We do not add infinity to the hyper-real line.<br />
13. The infinitesimals, the infinitesimals with negative<br />
signs, the infinite hyper-reals, and the infinite hyper-reals<br />
with negative signs are semi-groups with<br />
respect to addition. Neither set includes zero.<br />
14. The hyper-real line is embedded in � , and is not<br />
homeomorphic to the real line. There is no bi-continuous<br />
one-one mapping from the hyper-real onto the real line.<br />
13<br />
∞
<strong>Gauge</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> Journal, Volume 8, No. 1, February 2012 H. Vic Dannon<br />
15. In particular, there are no points on the real line that<br />
can be assigned uniquely to the infinitesimal hyper-reals, or<br />
to the infinite hyper-reals, or to the non-constant hyper-<br />
reals.<br />
16. No neighbourhood of a hyper-real is homeomorphic to<br />
n<br />
an � ball. Therefore, the hyper-real line is not a manifold.<br />
17. The hyper-real line is totally ordered like a line, but it<br />
is not spanned by one element, and it is not one-dimensional.<br />

<strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> Definition<br />
2.1 Domain and Range<br />
The <strong>Delta</strong> <strong>Function</strong> is a hyper-real function defined from the<br />

The hyper-real 0 is the sequence 0, 0, 0,... .<br />
The infinite hyper-real 1<br />
dx<br />
depends on our choice of dx . We will<br />
usually choose the family of infinitesimals that is spanned by the<br />
1<br />
n<br />
sequences 1<br />
n , 2<br />
1 , 3 n<br />
,… It is a semigroup with respect to<br />
vector addition, and includes all the scalar multiples of the<br />
generating sequences that are non-zero. That is, the family<br />
includes infinitesimals with negative sign.<br />
Therefore, 1<br />
dx<br />
will mean the sequence n .<br />
Alternatively, we may choose the family spanned by the sequences<br />

Integral of<br />
δ(<br />
x)<br />
11.1 Integral of a Hyper-real <strong>Function</strong><br />
Let f () x be a hyper-real function on the interval [ ab , ] .<br />
f () x may take infinite hyper-real values, and need not be<br />
bounded.<br />
At each<br />
a ≤ x ≤b,<br />
there is a rectangle with base dx dx<br />
[ x − , x + ], height f () x , and area<br />
2<br />
2<br />
f ( xdx. )<br />
We form the Integration Sum of all the areas for the x ’s that<br />
start at x = a,<br />
and end at x = b,<br />
∑<br />
x∈[ a, b]<br />
f ( xdx ) .<br />
If for any infinitesimal dx , the Integration Sum has the same<br />
hyper-real value, then f () x is integrable over the interval [ ab , ] .<br />
Then, we call the Integration Sum the integral of f () x from x = a,<br />
to x = b,<br />
and denote it by<br />
35
<strong>Gauge</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> Journal, Volume 8, No. 1, February 2012 H. Vic Dannon<br />
x= b<br />
∫<br />
x= a<br />
f ( xdx ) .<br />
If the hyper-real is infinite, then it is the integral over [ ab , ] ,<br />
If the hyper-real is finite,<br />
x= b<br />
∫ fxdx ( ) = real part of the hyper-real . �<br />
x= a<br />
11.2 The countability of the Integration Sum<br />
In [Dan1], we established the equality of all positive infinities:<br />
We proved that the number of the Natural Numbers,<br />
Card� , equals the number of Real Numbers, 2 , and<br />
Card�<br />
Card � =<br />
we have<br />
2 Card�<br />
2<br />
Card�<br />
Card� = ( Card�)<br />
= .... = 2 = 2 = ... ≡ ∞.<br />
In particular, we demonstrated that the real numbers may be<br />
well-ordered.<br />
Consequently, there are countably many real numbers in the<br />
interval [ ab , ] , and the Integration Sum has countably many terms.<br />
While we do not sequence the real numbers in the interval, the<br />
summation takes place over countably many f ( xdx. )<br />
The Lower Integral is the Integration Sum where f ( x ) is replaced<br />
36
<strong>Gauge</strong> <strong>Institute</strong> Journal, Volume 8, No. 1, February 2012 H. Vic Dannon<br />
by its lowest value on each interval<br />

⎜ inf f ( t) ⎟<br />
⎜ ⎟dx<br />
⎜⎜⎝ ⎟<br />

⎠⎟<br />
The Upper Integral is the Integration Sum where f ( x ) is replaced<br />
by its largest value on each interval<br />
11.4<br />
∑<br />
x∈[ a, b]<br />

⎠⎟<br />
If the integral is a finite hyper-real, we have<br />
11.5 A hyper-real function has a finite integral if and only if its<br />
upper integral and its lower integral are finite, and differ by an<br />
infinitesimal.<br />
x =∞<br />
11.6 δ(<br />

Proof: The only term in the integration Sum is 1<br />
