The Dirac delta function clearly provides one form of spectra which has an analytical transform to the viscoelastic experimental regimes discussed so far. An often overlooked function was developed by Tobolsky6 and Smith.7 They noted that particular forms of the relaxation or retardation spectra have exact analytical transforms. These functions give well defined spectra and provide good fits to experimental data. The relaxation spectrum is defined by the function ... 

Here s is the Laplac variable and c. (s) the Laplace transform of the inpu. When c. (t) can be approximated by a Dirac delta function, c (s) = 1 and the right hand side of Equation 8 is the Laplace transform of the solute concentration at any z. 

The Dirac delta function may be represented as a Fourier transform over time ... 

To connect the equations in (B.l) through the Fourier-Laplace transform, we need to define suitable complex contours to make the transforms convergent. Specifically we identify the contours C by the lines in upper and lower complex planes defined by CU ( id — oo — id + oo), where d > 0 may be arbitrary. Using the Heaviside function, 0(f), and the Dirac delta function, 5(f), we can characterize positive and negative times (with respect to f = 0) as linked with appropriate contours C as... 

The summation of exponential terms on the right is a Dirac delta function, a discrete function, which is everywhere zero except when the argument is zero or integral. The summation on the left is a continuous function, which determines the value of the entire transform at those nonzero points. Now d ki is normal to the set of planes of a particular family, and d ki I is the interplanar spacing. In order for dhu s = 1, s must be parallel with dhki and have magnitude 1/ Smreciprocal lattice vector. If s h, then there is destructive interference of the waves diffracted by different unit cells, and the resultant wave from the crystal is zero. The elements of the diffraction spectra, the structure factors, for the crystal can therefore be written as... 

Consider an impulse function. The impulse function is also known as a Dirac delta function and is represented by S(t). The function has a magnitude oo and an area equal to unity at time t = 0. The Laplace transform of an impulse function is obtained by taking the limit of a pulse function of unit area ast 0. Thus, the area of pulse function HT = 1. The Laplace transform is given by... 

Here Qa is the mean value of property Q averaged over basin a (at energy ), and (X) is the spectral weight in the continuum limit of the modes with exponential decay constant X. If 2(0 in fact has the stretched exponential form, then (X) will be proportional to the Laplace transform F(X), for which both numerical (Lindsey and Patterson, 1980) and analytical (Helfand, 1983) studies are available. In the simple exponential decay limit= 1, F(X) reduces to an infinitely narrow Dirac delta function but it broadens as p decreases toward the lower limit to involve a wide range of simple exponential relaxation rates. 

The Dirac delta functions, S, ensure that the ends of spacers, B, have the same orientation as the consecutive A rods to which they are attached. UA and Ub are the linear transformations of Sa and (1 — 4>)Sb, Sa and Sb are the orders of A and B components, respectively, the tranformation matrix being associated with the self and cross couplings ... 

The Kubo relation (25) of section 2.1 is obtained as the Fourier transform of (70). The term linear in V is the retarded two-time Green s function, first introduced in this context by Bogoliubov and Tyablikov [30]. The identification with Green s functions stems from the presence of the Heaviside step function that in part were introduced to allow integration over the full time interval and whose time derivative gives a Dirac delta function. For instance, t — to)U(tfo) is a solution of the inhomogeneous equation [31]... 

As we decrease the time constant the function becomes more intense in and around the f = 0. Doing this in the limit of 6 -> 0 transforms this into the infinitely intense pulse of infinitely short time duration. We can use this Dirac-Delta function, once we know more about its properties and how it is implemented in Mathematica.

In electrotechnics, it is preferred to test the response of a system by a needle-like pulse of voltage or current, which is mathematically represented by the Dirac delta function. As can be seen from Eq. (16.9), since the Fourier transform of the Dirac delta function is 1, so Fj(t >) = 1, the Fourier transform of the system characteristics, Gitco) is directly the Fourier transform of the output response, Foiico). Of course this implies that also the corresponding functions in the time domains are equal. 

If the injection of a single occurs instantly, which corresponds to an initial profile of a Dirac delta function the peak should leave the column as a Dirac delta function delayed by the retention time tR. We denote the concentration profile now with c(t), thus the injected concentration profile as c,(f) and the eluted, outputted concentration profile as Co(t). The corresponding Fourier transforms we denote with capital letters, as before. Due to the needle-like shape of the injected amount we have Ci(t) = 8(t). Equation (16.9) now will be read as... 

Due to the assumption that the injection concentration profile is a Dirac delta function and the output profile is simply shifted by the retention time, we find, using the shift theorem from Table 16.1 and the transform of the Dirac delta function in...
