[docs]class DiracDelta(Function):
"""
The DiracDelta function and its derivatives.
DiracDelta is not an ordinary function. It can be rigorously defined either
as a distribution or as a measure.
DiracDelta only makes sense in definite integrals, and in particular, integrals
of the form ``Integral(f(x)*DiracDelta(x - x0), (x, a, b))``, where it equals
``f(x0)`` if ``a <= x0 <= b`` and ``0`` otherwise. Formally, DiracDelta acts
in some ways like a function that is ``0`` everywhere except at ``0``,
but in many ways it also does not. It can often be useful to treat DiracDelta
in formal ways, building up and manipulating expressions with delta functions
(which may eventually be integrated), but care must be taken to not treat it
as a real function.
SymPy's ``oo`` is similar. It only truly makes sense formally in certain contexts
(such as integration limits), but SymPy allows its use everywhere, and it tries to be
consistent with operations on it (like ``1/oo``), but it is easy to get into trouble
and get wrong results if ``oo`` is treated too much like a number.
Similarly, if DiracDelta is treated too much like a function, it is easy to get wrong
or nonsensical results.
DiracDelta function has the following properties:
1) ``diff(Heaviside(x), x) = DiracDelta(x)``
2) ``integrate(DiracDelta(x - a)*f(x),(x, -oo, oo)) = f(a)`` and
``integrate(DiracDelta(x - a)*f(x),(x, a - e, a + e)) = f(a)``
3) ``DiracDelta(x) = 0`` for all ``x != 0``
4) ``DiracDelta(g(x)) = Sum_i(DiracDelta(x - x_i)/abs(g'(x_i)))``
Where ``x_i``-s are the roots of ``g``
5) ``DiracDelta(-x) = DiracDelta(x)``
Derivatives of ``k``-th order of DiracDelta have the following property:
6) ``DiracDelta(x, k) = 0``, for all ``x != 0``
7) ``DiracDelta(-x, k) = -DiracDelta(x, k)`` for odd ``k``
8) ``DiracDelta(-x, k) = DiracDelta(x, k)`` for even ``k``

Returns the first derivative of a DiracDelta Function.
The difference between ``diff()`` and ``fdiff()`` is:-
``diff()`` is the user-level function and ``fdiff()`` is an object method.
``fdiff()`` is just a convenience method available in the ``Function`` class.
It returns the derivative of the function without considering the chain rule.
``diff(function, x)`` calls ``Function._eval_derivative`` which in turn calls
``fdiff()`` internally to compute the derivative of the function.

but Maple uses ``H(0) = undefined``. Different application areas
may have specific conventions. For example, in control theory, it
is common practice to assume ``H(0) == 0`` to match the Laplace
transform of a DiracDelta distribution.
To specify the value of Heaviside at x=0, a second argument can be given.
Omit this 2nd argument or pass ``None`` to recover the default behavior.
