Results on Colombeau product of distributions π₯+−π−1/2 and π₯−−π−1/2 are derived. They are obtained in Colombeau differential algebra G(R) of generalized functions that contains the space DσΈ (R) of Schwartz distributions as a subspace and has a notion of “association” that is a faithful generalization of the weak equality in DσΈ (R). 1. Introduction In quantum physics one finds the need to evaluate πΏ2 , when calculating the transition rates of certain particle interactions; see [1]. The problem of defining products of distributions is also closely connected with the problem of renormalization in quantum field theory. Due to the large use of distributions in the natural sciences and other mathematical fields, the problem of the product of distributions [2] is an objective of many research studies. Starting with the historically first construction of distributional multiplication by KoΜnig [3], and the sequential approach developed in [4] by Antosik et al., there have been numerous attempts to define products of distributions, see [5–7], or rather to enlarge the number of existing products. Having a look at the theory of distributions [8, 9] we realize that there are two complementary points of view. (1) A distribution π ∈ DσΈ (Rπ ) is a continuous functional on the space D(Rπ ) of space functions (compactly supported smooth functions). Here we have a linear action π σ³¨→ β¨π, πβ© of π on a test function π. (1) (2) Letting {ππ } be a sequence of smooth functions converging to the Dirac measure, a family of regularization {ππ } can be produced by convolution, ππ (π₯) = π ∗ ππ = β¨π (π¦) , ππ (π₯ − π¦)β© , (2) which converges weakly to the original distribution π ∈ DσΈ (Rπ ). Identifying two sequences {ππ } and {π}π if they have the same limit, we obtain a sequential representation of the space of distributions. Other authors use the equivalence classes of nets of regularization. The delta-net {ππ }π>0 is defined by π₯ ππ (π₯) = π−π π ( ) . π (3) When we work with regularization the nonlinear structure is lost by identifying sequences (nets) with the same limit. So we have to get nonlinear theory of generalized functions that will work with regularization, but identify less. The actual construction of such algebras enjoying these optimal properties is due to Colombeau [10]. His theory of algebras of generalized functions offers the possibility of applying large classes of nonlinear operations to distributional objects. Some of them are used on solving differential equations with nonstandard coefficients [11]. The “association process” in 2 International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences Colombeau algebra providing a faithful generalization of the equality of distributions in D(Rπ ) enables us to obtain results in terms of distributions, the so-called Colombeau products. In fact, we evaluate particular product of distributions with coinciding singularities, as embedded in Colombeau algebra, in terms of associated distributions; see [12–14]. Therefore, the results obtained can be reformulated as regularized model products in the classical distribution theory. In 1966, Mikusinski published his famous result [15]: π₯−1 ⋅ π₯−1 − π2 πΏ (π₯) πΏ (π₯) = π₯−2 , (4) where neither of the products on the left-hand side here exists, but their difference still has a correct meaning in distribution space DσΈ (R). Formula including balanced products of distributions with coinciding singularities can be found in mathematical and physical literature. In this paper results on product of distributions π₯+−π−1/2 and π₯−−π−1/2 are derived. 2. Colombeau Algebra The basic idea underlying Colombeau’s theory in its simplest form is that of embedding the space of distributions into a factor algebra of C∞ (Rπ )πΌ , πΌ = (0, 1) with regularization by convolution with a fixed “mollifier” π. The space of test function is A0 (Rπ ) = {π ∈ D (Rπ ) : ∫ π (π₯) ππ₯ = 1} . (π, π₯) σ³¨→ π’ (π, π₯) , ∀πΎ ⊂⊂ Rπ ∀πΌ ∈ Nπ0 ∃π ≥ 0 such that ∀π ∈ Aπ (Rπ ) , σ΅¨ σ΅¨ sup σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ππΌ π’ (ππ , π₯)σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ = O (π−π ) π₯∈πΎ as π σ³¨→ 0. (8) Null functionals, denoted by N(Rπ ), are defined by the property: ∀πΎ ⊂⊂ Rπ ∀πΌ ∈ Nπ0 ∃π ≥ 0 such that ∀π ≥ π, ∀π ∈ Aπ (Rπ ) , σ΅¨ σ΅¨ sup σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ππΌ π’ (ππ , π₯)σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ = O (ππ−π ) π₯∈πΎ (9) as π σ³¨→ 0. In other words, moderate functionals satisfy a locally uniform polynomial estimate as π → 0 when acting on ππ , together with all derivatives, while null functionals vanish faster than any power of π in the same situation. The null functionals form a differential ideal in the collection of moderate functionals. We define space of functions π’ : A0 → C and denote by E0 (Rπ ). It is a subalgebra in E(Rπ ) in sense of natural identification. Moderate functionals, denoted by E0π(Rπ ), are defined by the property: ∃π ≥ 0 such that ∀π ∈ Aπ (Rπ ) , (5) Functional act on test functions and points is π’ : A0 (Rπ ) × Rπ σ³¨→ C, moderate functionals, denoted by Eπ(Rπ ), are defined by the property: σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨ −π σ΅¨σ΅¨π’ (ππ )σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ = O (π ) (10) as π σ³¨→ 0. Null functionals, denoted by N0 (Rπ ), are defined by the property: (6) where π’(π, π₯) is required to belong to C∞ (Rπ ) with respect to the second variable π₯ ∈ Rπ . Now let ππ (π₯) = π−π π(π₯/π) for π ∈ A0 (Rπ ). The sequence (π’ ∗ ππ )π∈πΌ converges to π’ in DσΈ (Rπ ). Taking this sequence as a representative of π’ we obtain an embedding of DσΈ (Rπ ) into the algebra C∞ (Rπ ). However, embedding C∞ (Rπ ) ⊂ DσΈ (Rπ ) into this algebra via convolution as above will not yield a subalgebra since of course (π ∗ ππ )(π ∗ ππ ) =ΜΈ (ππ) ∗ ππ in general. The idea, therefore, is to factor out an ideal N(Rπ ) such that this difference vanishes in the resulting quotient. In order to construct N(Rπ ) it is obviously sufficient to find an ideal containing all differences (π ∗ ππ ) − (π)π∈πΌ . Taylor expansion of (π ∗ ππ ) − π shows that this term will vanish faster than any power of π, uniformly on compact sets, in all derivatives. We use the following space: Aπ (Rπ ) = {π ∈ A0 (Rπ ) : ∫ π₯πΌ π (π₯) ππ₯ = 0 for 1 ≤ |πΌ| ≤ π} ; (7) ∃π ≥ 0 such that ∀π ≥ π, ∀π ∈ Aπ (Rπ ) , σ΅¨σ΅¨ σ΅¨ π−π σ΅¨σ΅¨π’ (ππ )σ΅¨σ΅¨σ΅¨ = O (π ) as π σ³¨→ 0. (11) Definition 1. Space of generalized functions G(Rπ ), generalized complex numbers, and generalized real numbers is the factor algebra defined as G (Rπ ) = Eπ (Rπ ) , N (Rπ ) C= E0π (C) , N0 (C) R= E0π (R) . N0 (R) (12) The space of distributions is imbedded by convolution: π : DσΈ (Rπ ) σ³¨→ G (Rπ ) , π (π’) = class of [(π, π₯) σ³¨→ π’ ∗ π (π₯)] . (13) Equivalence classes of sequences (π’π )π∈πΌ in G(Rπ ) will be denoted by π = class [(π’π )π∈πΌ ]. If πΊ is a generalized function with compact support πΎ ⊂⊂ Rπ and πΊπ (π₯) is a representative of πΊ, then its integral is defined by ∫ πΊ ππ₯ = class [∫ π (π₯) πΊπ (π₯) ππ₯] . Let πΉ, πΊ ∈ G(Rπ ). Then (14) International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences σΈ (i) they are equal in the distribution sense, πΊ =D πΉ if ∫ (πΊ − πΉ) π ππ₯ = 0 ∈ C, (15) π for any π ∈ D (R ) ; (ii) they are associated πΊ ≈ πΉ if there exist a representative πΊπ and πΉπ of πΊ and πΉ, respectively, such that lim ∫ (πΊπ (π₯) − πΉπ (π₯)) π (π₯) ππ₯ = 0, π→0 3 Proof. For given π ∈ π΄ 0 (R) we suppose that supp π(π₯) ⊆ [π, π], without loss of generality. Then using the embedding rule and the substitution π‘ = (π¦ − π₯)/π we have the representatives of the distribution π₯+−π−1/2 in Colombeau algebra: Μ π₯+−π−1/2 (ππ , π₯) = (−1)π 3.

It follows from Lemma 2 that ∫π‘ π π π(π) (π )ππ is an even or odd function accordingly as π + π is odd or even. π We thus have that π‘π−π π(π) (π‘) ∫π‘ π π π(π) (π )ππ is an odd function and π½π,π = 0. If π ≥ π then π−π < π and by changing the order of integration we can prove that again π½π,π = 0. If we suppose that π is odd and less than 2π we can prove in a similar manner that π½π,π = 0.
