Another Demonstration gives some representations for the Dirac deltafunction as the limit of elementary functions (see the related links below).This Demonstration illustrates several additional limiting relations involving special functions and the deltafunction:
Bessel:
, (
Airy:
.
Hermite: The
derivative of the deltafunction is given by
. Shown is
with
.
Dirichlet kernel:
, where the delta-comb or shah function is defined by
. This is a periodic extension of the deltafunction.
Fejér kernel:
, with the same periodicity as the Dirichlet kernel.
Sigmoid: The derivative of the sigmoid function:
.
Closure: An orthonormal set of functions {
} obeys the closure relation
. This is shown for orthonormalized Hermite functions
with
.
