I've reached an impasse in reading some texts on distribution theory, as several of them mention smooth distributions, but none of them actually define what it means. Therefore I'd like to know if anyone could give me the definition of a smooth distribution. EDIT: After reading a bit more, I've realized that I am thinking about distributions which are locally given by smooth functions. Where is it possible to read about these
