Abstract

Let f and g be distributions and let gn=(g*δn)(x), where δn(x) is a certain sequence converging to the Dirac-delta function δ(x). The noncommutative neutrix product fg of f and g is defined to be the neutrix limit of the sequence {fgn}, provided the limit h exists in the sense that N‐limnf(x)gn(x),φ(x)=h(x),φ(x), for all test functions in 𝒟. In this paper, using the concept of the neutrix limit due to van der Corput (1960), the noncommutative neutrix products x+rlnx+xr1lnx and xr1lnxx+rlnx+ are proved to exist and are evaluated for r=1,2,. It is consequently seen that these two products are in fact equal.
