Distributional differential equations (delta)

31 Views Asked by At

I'm learning the basics of distributional theory. Reading a book, I've found this exercises: Find the general solution of

$$(x-1)T= \delta$$

$$(x-1)T =\delta'$$

I've tried different starting points but no solutions. Please, can you help me?

Hints: So the thing to know is that solutions to $$ x\,T = f $$ are of the form $g + C\,\delta_0$ where $g$ is any particular solution of the equation. Replacing $x$ by $x-1$, this is still true but with $\delta_1$.

To find a particular solution, think about the fact that the Dirac is only non-zero at $x=0$ ... so look at what happens if your replace $x$ by $0$.
