In the classical theory of distributions the substitution of smooth functions into distributions are studied. The substitution is well defined and preserves the basic properties of compositions of functions when the first derivatives of the smooth functions do not vanish. In this paper, we apply the method of generalized operation on distributions to define the composition of two distributions. First, we define a class of delta-sequences \(\delta_n\), next, for distributions \(f\) and \(g\), we define regular sequences \(f_n= f*\delta_n\) and \(g_n= g*\delta_n\). If it happens that the sequence of compositions \(g_n\circ f_n\) is distributionally convergent, the limit of the sequence is assumed to be the composition \(g\circ f\). Following this method we show that if \(f\) is a smooth function with nonvanishing derivative, the composition \(g\circ f_n\) in the above sense and in the sense of [the author, \textit{J. Mikusiński} and \textit{R. Sikorski}, ``Theory of distributions. The sequential approach, Warszawa (1973; Zbl 0267.46028), II.2.8] coincide. In \S 3 we study substitution of a distribution into the absolute value function. The main result of this paper is contained in Theorem 3 of \S 6, where we are concerned with the substitution of a measure into a continuous function with limits at \(\pm\infty\). Our motivation for writing this paper was to justify the following formulae: \[ \log(1+ \delta)= 0,\quad \sin^2\delta+ \cos^2\delta= 1,\quad \sqrt{1+\delta^2}= 1+\delta. \] For the entire collection see [Zbl 0833.00014].
