another example of Dirac sequence


Let An=[-12n,12n] and δn=2n-1χAn for every positive integer n, where χS denotes the characteristic functionMathworldPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath of the set S. Then {δn} is a Dirac sequence:

  1. 1.

    δn(t)0 for every positive integer n and every t.

  2. 2.

    Let n be a positive integer. Then -δn(t)𝑑t=-12n12n2n-1𝑑t=1.

  3. 3.

    Let r>0. Then there exists a positive integer N such that, for every integer k>N, we have 12k<r. Thus, for every integer k>N, we have [-r,r]dk(t)𝑑t=0.
