KnowraDistribution (mathematics)Linked fromLinked fromThe 13 pages that link to Distribution (mathematics), each with the reason it gives.All 13Related 2Narrower topic 10Compared with 1Green's functionNarrower topic: Point sources and many Green's functions are naturally defined as distributions.Scalar fieldCompared with: Distributions extend scalar fields to singular objects that need not have pointwise values.Sobolev spaceNarrower topic: Weak derivatives are defined within distribution theory.Weak solutionNarrower topic: The weak-solution identity is naturally expressed using distributions.Heaviside step functionNarrower topic: Distribution theory gives precise meaning to the step’s derivative and point value.Hyperbolic partial differential equationRelated: Hyperbolic equations often require distributional solutions for point sources and discontinuous waves.Elliptic regularityNarrower topic: Elliptic equations can be interpreted distributionally before their solutions are known to be smooth.Weak derivativeNarrower topic: The test-function definition first produces a distribution, even when no ordinary derivative exists.Dirac combNarrower topic: The comb belongs to this broader framework because its impulses are not ordinary function values.Sobolev inequalityRelated: They make derivatives and function-space estimates meaningful beyond classical smoothness.Hilbert transformNarrower topic: The singular kernel can be defined rigorously as a distribution before acting on suitable functions.Fundamental lemma of the calculus of variationsNarrower topic: The lemma is the basic uniqueness principle identifying a continuous function from its action on test functions.Weyl's lemmaNarrower topic: Weyl's lemma begins with harmonicity expressed for this generalized notion of function.
