Operations with distributions and generalized functions (46F10)

Abstract: We construct a generalization of the multiplicative product of distributions presented by L. H"ormander in [L. H"ormander, {it The analysis of linear partial differential operators I} (Springer-Verlag, 1983)]. The new product is defined in the vector space $$ of piecewise smooth functions $$ and all their (distributional) derivatives. It is associative, satisfies the Leibniz rule and reproduces the usual pointwise product of functions for regular distributions in $$. Endowed with this product, the space $$ becomes a differential associative algebra of generalized functions. By working in the new $$-setting we determine a method for transforming an ordinary linear differential equation with general solution $psi$ into another, ordinary linear differential equation, with general solution $ch{i}_{Omega}psi$, where $ch{i}_{Omega}$ is the characteristic function of some prescribed interval $$.

Review text

A new distributional product is constructed in the vector space of piecewise smooth functions and all their distributional derivatives. The new product is associative, satisfies the Leibniz rule and reproduces the usual product of functions for regular distributions. With this new product the space under consideration becomes a differential associative algebra of generalised functions. With the help of this product an ordinary linear differential equation with general solution can be transformed into an ordinary linear differential equation where the solution is confined to a prescribed interval.
