Variation of Delta function integrated

141 Views Asked by At

We all know:
$$\int_0^\infty \delta(y) dy = 1.$$

How about
$$\int_{-\infty}^\infty y\delta(y) dy .$$

The solution of this is $0$. I have no idea how to get this.

thx,

That's the definition only. In general it is

$$\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(y) \delta (y)dy = f(0)$$

Now put $f(y) = y$.
