On the composition of distributions \(x^{-s}\ln |x|\) and \(|x|^{\mu}\) (Q925442)

Summary: Let \(F\) be a distribution and let \(f\) be a locally summable function. The distribution \(F(f)\) is defined as the neutrix limit of the sequence \(\{F_n(f)\}\), where \(F_n(x)= F(x)*\delta_n(x)\) and \(\{\delta_n(x)\}\) is a certain sequence of infinitely differentiable functions converging to the Dirac delta-function \(\delta(x)\). The composition of the distributions \(x^{-s}\ln|x|\) and \(|x|^\mu\) is evaluated for \(s=1,2,\dots\), \(\mu>0\) and \(\mu s\neq1,2,\dots\).
