Total Dirac delta function

In this thought experiment we inject a perfectly sharp pulse 5(0) whose total amount is unity. This pulse is a Dirac delta function defined as a rectangle centered about time zero with a height 1/s and a width f in the limit e 00 so that the area of the function remains unity as the height goes to infinity. 

The matrix elements of the total correlation function, h, are related to all pairs of atoms. The intramolecular correlation function, to, introduced here represents the shape of the molecule. 8(r) in the diagonal element is the Dirac delta function and represents the position of an atom. The function appearing in the off-diagonal element is given by,... 

Dirichlet function, which is an approximation of Delta function, S x). Various approximate representations of Dirac delta function are provided in Van der Pol Bremmer (1959) on pp 61-62. This clearly shows that we recover the applied boundary condition at y = 0. Therefore, the delta function is totally supported by the point at infinity in the wave number space (which is nothing but the circular arc of Fig. 2.20 i.e. the essential singularity of the kernel of the contour integral). 

To put the definition of this property into direct correspondence with the definition of other atomic properties, as one for which the property density at r is determined by the effect of the field over the entire molecule, we express the perturbed density in terms of the first-order corrections to the state function. This is done in a succinct manner by using the concept of a transition density (Longuet-Higgins 1956). The operator whose expectation value yields the total electronic charge density at the position r may be expressed in terms of the Dirac delta function as... 

Thus, the Dirac delta function enables us to write the total charge distributions and their interactions in an elegant way ... 

Of course, the two notations are equivalent because inserting the total charge distributions into the last integral, as well as using the properties of the Dirac delta function, gives the first expression for Einter-... 

In VNER diabatization, the bath exerts an electrostatic potential that responds linearly to the field of the total system, but the interaction potential is a Dirac delta function ... 

The subscript t is used here to indicate that the radical concentration [i ]f is a time-dependent variable in equation 3.1 (note that this does not apply to the subscript t in the rate coefficient ki) and 5o represents the Dirac delta function. The initial value of the radical concentration at f = 0 equals [i ]o, which is the concentration of radicals formed instantaneously by the laser pulse. A constant value of kt is then used to integrate the above expression and to derive an expression for the change of the total radical concentration with time. Substituting this expression into the equation describing the rate of polymerization and subsequent integration results in ...
