Heaviside Function

Overview


{% H(x) = 0 \, for \, x \leq 0 %}
{% H(x) = 1 \, for \, x > 0 %}

Differentiation


When considered within the framework of generalized functions (distributions), the derivative of the Heaviside funcition is seen to be the Dirac Delta Function
{% \frac{d H(x)}{dx} = \delta(x) %}
