Regularisierende Deltafunktionen

In the Laurent Schwartz theory of distributions the integral∫ δ(r)f(r)dτ _r is only defined for a certain class of test functions. Unfortunately, in physics, we obtain test functionsf(r) likee ^ikr /r, e ^?kr /r, ?(e ^ikr /r) and so on, which are not belonging to the Laurent Schwartz class (§1). Here, we want to extend the class of test functions so that it includes physically meaningful functions with poles of finte order inr=0. For this purpose we replaceLaurent Schwartz's axiomatic method defining theδ-distribution by a constructive one consideringδ(r) as a given set of sequences of functions (§2). First we prove that the redefinedδ-function satisfy the equations, axiomatically assumed byLaurent Schwartz (§3). Then we obtain well defined and finite results even in the case of test functions with poles atr=0 (§4). The Fourier components of the newδ-function are given (§5). Finally we show why theδ-function is Lorentz invariant (§6).
