In order to cover such cases, we introduce the unit step function (or Heaviside’s unit function*). Def.

To deal with such and similar ideas, we introduce the unit impulse function (also called Dirac delta function*). Thus unit impulse function is considered as the limiting form of the function (Fig. 21.7): 8.(¢-a)=Ve, astsare 0, otherwise as €— 0. It is clear from Fig. 21.7 that as € > 0, the height of the strip increases indefinitely and the width decreases in such a way that its area is always unity.
