In reality, a delta function is nearly a spike near 0 which goes up and down on a time

www.math.arizona.edu1 The delta function and distributions There is a great need in differential equations to define objects that arise as limits of functions and behave like functions under integration but are not, properly speaking, functions themselves. These objects are sometimes called generalized functions or distributions. The most basic one of these

www.iist.ac.inRegularized Dirac-delta function Instead of using the limit of ever-narrowing rectangular pulse of unit area when defining delta function, any similar functions can be used, provided their integral is unity and their amplitude increase as their pulse-like property narrows. For example, a regularized (smeared-out) delta
