Abstract We rigorously investigate the rapidly oscillating contributions in sinc-function representation of Dirac delta function and Fourier transform Coulomb potential. Beginning with a derivation standard integral Heaviside step function, we examine that contains sinc function. By contour integration, prove satisfies properties although it is divergent at nonzero points. This good pedagogical...

We analyze radially symmetric bumps in a two-dimensional piecewise-smooth neural field model with synaptic depression. The continuum dynamics is described in terms of a nonlocal integrodifferential equation, in which the integral kernel represents the spatial distribution of synaptic weights between populations of neurons whose mean firing rate is taken to be a Heaviside function of local activ...
