Relationship To The Kronecker Delta
The Kronecker delta is the quantity defined by
for all integers i, j. This function then satisfies the following analog of the sifting property: if is any doubly infinite sequence, then
Similarly, for any real or complex valued continuous function ƒ on R, the Dirac delta satisfies the sifting property
This exhibits the Kronecker delta function as a discrete analog of the Dirac delta function.

Famous quotes containing the word relationship:
“When any relationship is characterized by difference, particularly a disparity in power, there remains a tendency to model it on the parent-child-relationship. Even protectiveness and benevolence toward the poor, toward minorities, and especially toward women have involved equating them with children.”
—Mary Catherine Bateson (20th century)
