We collect three instances where the theory of generalized functions may still make contributions to the study of signals and systems. In the first, a purely algebraic approach is presented for LTI-ODE's, in terms of two operators, D and T, respectively the differentiation operator and the multiplication-by-the-independent-variable operator. This formalism adds simplicity, a duality theory, and nicely generalizes to other classes of operator equations and their solutions. In the second part we extend the classical bilateral Laplace transform to include Bohl functions with support in R by invoking Sato's hyperfunctions. Finally, in the third case we use the Colombeau algebra to allow for products of generalized functions. This is important in the study of (smooth) nonlinear systems driven by impulsive inputs, and hybrid system theory. Copyright (c) 2024 The Authors.

Static nanobeam bending problems have yielded conflicting results from many researchers. Methods suggested by numerous researchers have shown inconsistencies in capturing size effects and satisfying essential and natural boundary conditions for nanobeam configurations when subjected to different types of loading. This work proposes an alternative approach using Eringen's strain-driven integral nonlocal elasticity to arrive at analytical solutions. The theory of generalized functions and the Dirac-delta identity are used to revisit Timoshenko nanobeam modeling aspects, focusing on nanobeam elastostatics. Proposed analytical solutions for fundamental and derived quantities based on the strain-driven nonlocal model have been compared with the results of existing approaches. A crucial drawback with the strain-driven models of Eringen in both integral and differential form is its inability to satisfy equilibrium equations, which is addressed extensively in this work.

Detrended Fluctuation Analysis (DFA) and its generalization for multifractal signals, Multifractal Detrend Fluctuation Analysis (MFDFA), are widely used techniques to investigate the fractal properties of time series by estimating their Hurst exponent (H). These methods involve calculating the fluctuation functions, which represent the square root of the mean square deviation from the detrended cumulative curve of a given time series. However, in the multifractal variant of the method, a particular case arises when the multifractal index vanishes. Consequently, it becomes necessary to define the fluctuation function differently for this specific case. In this paper, we propose an approach that eliminates the need for a piecewise definition of the fluctuation function, thereby enabling a unified formulation and interpretation in both DFA and MFDFA methodologies. Our formulation provides a more compact algorithm applicable to mono and multifractal time series. To achieve this, we express the fluctuation functions as generalized means, using the generalized logarithm and exponential functions from the context of the non -extensive statistical mechanics. We identified that the generalized formulation is the Box-Cox transformation of the dataset;hence we established a relationship between statistics parametrization and multifractality. Furthermore, this equivalence is related to the entropic index of the generalized functions and the multifractal index of the MFDFA method. To validate our formulation, we assess the efficacy of our method in estimating the (generalized) Hurst exponents H using commonly used signals such as the fractional Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (fOU) process, the symmetric Levy distribution, pink, white, and Brownian noises. In addition, we apply our proposed method to a real -world dataset, further demonstrating its effectiveness in estimating the exponents H and uncovering the fractal nature of the data.

In this work, standard methods of the mixed thin-shell formalism are refined using the framework of Colombeau's theory of generalized functions. To this end, systematic use is made of smooth generalized functions, in particular regularizations of the Heaviside step function and the delta distribution, instead of working directly with the corresponding Schwartz distributions. Based on this change of method, the resulting extended thin shell formalism is shown to offer a decisive advantage over traditional approaches to the subject: it avoids dealing with ill-defined products of distributions in the calculation of nonlinear curvature expressions, thereby allowing for the treatment of problems that prove intractable with the 'conventional' thin-shell formalism. This includes, in particular, the problem of matching singular spacetimes with distributional metrics (containing a delta distribution term) across a joint boundary hypersurface in spacetime, the problem of setting up the dominant energy condition for thin shells, and the problem of defining reasonably rigorously nonlinear distribution-valued curvature invariants needed in higher-derivative theories of gravity. Eventually, as a further application, close links to Penrose's cut-and-paste method are established by proving that results of said method can be re-derived using the generalized formalism presented.

We construct a large class of superoscillating sequences, more generally of F-supershifts, where F is a family of smooth functions in (t, x) (resp. distributions in (t, x), or hyperfunctions in x depending on the parameter t) indexed by lambda is an element of R. The frame in which we introduce such families is that of the evolution through Schrodinger equation (i partial derivative/partial derivative t - H (x))(psi) = 0 (H(x) = - (partial derivative(2)/partial derivative x(2))/2+V (x)), V being a suitable potential). If F = {(t, x) bar right arrow phi(lambda)(t, x);lambda is an element of R}, where phi(lambda) is evolved from the initial datum x bar right arrow e(i lambda x), F-supershifis will be of the form {Sigma(N)(j=0) C-j (N, a)phi(1-2j/N)}(N >= 1) for a is an element of R\[-1, 1], taking C-j (N, a) = ((N)j)(1 + a)( N-j) (1 - a)(j) /2(N). Our results rely on the fact that integral operators of the Presnel type govern, as in optical diffraction, the evolution through the Schrodinger equation, such operators acting continuously on the weighted algebra of entire functions Exp(C). Analyzing in particular the quantum harmonic oscillator case forces us, in order to take into account singularities of the evolved datum that occur when the stationary phasis in the Fresnel operator vanishes, to enlarge the notion of F-supershift, F being a family of C-infinity functions or distributions in (t, x), to that where F is a family of hyperfunctions in x, depending on t as a parameter.

Ultrafunctions are a particular class of functions defined on a Non Archimedean field E superset of R. They have been introduced and studied in some previous works (Benci, in Adv Nonlinear Stud 13:461-486, 2013;Benci and Luperi Baglini, in Electron J Differ Equ Conf 21:11-21, 2014;Benci et al., in Adv Nonlinear Anal 10. https: //doi . org/10.1515/anona-2017-0225. 2;Benci et al., in Adv. Nonlinear Anal 9, 2018). In this paper we develop the notion of fine ultrafunctions which improves the older definitions in many crucial points. Some applications are given to show how ultrafunctions can be applied in studing Partial Differential Equations. In particular, it is possible to prove the existence of ultrafunction solutions to ill posed evolution poblems.
