Dirac’s delta function and Heaviside’s step function
In the analysis of control systems it is customary to utilize a type of functions
that represent certain physical occurrences such as the sudden activation of a
switch (Heaviside’s step function, H(t)) or a sudden, instantaneous, peak in an
input to the system (Dirac’s delta function, δ(t)). These belong to a class of
functions known as generalized or symbolic functions [e.g., see Friedman, B.,
1956, Principles and Techniques of Applied Mathematics, Dover Publications
Inc., New York (1990 reprint) ].
The formal definition of Dirac’s delta function
, δ(x), is δ(x) = 0, for x ≠0, and
Also, if f(x) is a continuous function, then
