  2. Kronecker delta - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kronecker_delta

    The Kronecker delta has the so-called sifting property that for : = =. and if the integers are viewed as a measure space, endowed with the counting measure, then this property coincides with the defining property of the Dirac delta function () = (), and in fact Dirac's delta was named after the Kronecker delta because of this analogous property ...

  3. Iverson bracket - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iverson_bracket

    In mathematics, the Iverson bracket, named after Kenneth E. Iverson, is a notation that generalises the Kronecker delta, which is the Iverson bracket of the statement x = y. It maps any statement to a function of the free variables in that statement. This function is defined to take the value 1 for the values of the variables for which the ...
