I'm new to the CCL and looking forward to interesting discussions. I was trying to solve ex. 1.14 from Szabo/Ostlund. If d(x) = \lim_{eps->\infinity} d_eps(x), where d_eps(x) = 1/(2eps) when -eps <= x <= eps and d_eps(x)=0 else, we are supposed to show that the value of a function a(0) = \int dx a(x) d(x) My Ansatz was to insert the definition into the integral, but then I'm not exactly seeing how to treat the limit function. How does one show this? Thank you for any suggestions.
