The discussion centers on proving that the limit of 1/|a| f_x((y-b)/a) as a approaches 0 converges to delta(y-b). Participants question the definitions of "delta(y-b)" and "f_x," with suggestions that "delta(y-b)" may refer to the Dirac delta function. The clarity of the problem definition is also highlighted as a concern. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for precise definitions to facilitate understanding and resolution of the limit.

Show the following limit will converge to delta(y-b),

lim 1/|a| f_x((y-b)/a)=delta(y-b)
a-->0

How are you defining "delta(y- b)"?
 
And what is [math]f_x[/math]?

Problem definition is not clear.
 
Thread 'Problem with calculating projections of curl using rotation of contour'
Hello! I tried to calculate projections of curl using rotation of coordinate system but I encountered with following problem. Given: ##rot_xA=\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial y}-\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial z}=0## ##rot_yA=\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial z}-\frac{\partial A_z}{\partial x}=1## ##rot_zA=\frac{\partial A_y}{\partial x}-\frac{\partial A_x}{\partial y}=0## I rotated ##yz##-plane of this coordinate system by an angle ##45## degrees about ##x##-axis and used rotation matrix to...
