Strongly internal sets and generalized smooth functions

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Based on a refinement of the notion of internal sets in Colombeau's theory, so-called strongly internal sets, we introduce the space of generalized smooth functions, a maximal extension of Colombeau generalized functions. Generalized smooth functions as morphisms between sets of generalized points form a sub-category of the category of topological spaces. In particular, they can be composed unrestrictedly.


The authors introduce a generalization of Colombeau-type generalized functions, which they call generalized smooth functions,NEWLINEGSF. These functions are set-theoretic maps on sets of generalized points that satisfy the minimal logical conditions necessary to obtain well-defined maps obeying the standard asymptotic estimates of the Colombeau approach. They are the natural extension of Colombeau generalized functions to general domains and they display optimal set-theoretical properties. The authors give proofs that GSF functions are locally Lipschitz functions. Also, this notion is studied for functions defined on and valued in generalized points.
