The first systematic theory of generalized functions (also known as
distributions) was created in the early 1950s, although some
aspects were developed much earlier, most notably in the definition
of the Green's function in mathematics and in the work of Paul
Dirac on quantum electrodynamics in physics. The six-volume
collection, Generalized Functions, written by I. M. Gelfand and
co-authors and published in Russian between 1958 and 1966, gives an
introduction to generalized functions and presents various
applications to analysis, PDE, stochastic processes, and
representation theory. Volume 1 is devoted to basics of the theory
of generalized functions. The first chapter contains main
definitions and most important properties of generalized functions
as functional on the space of smooth functions with compact
support. The second chapter talks about the Fourier transform of
generalized functions. In Chapter 3, definitions and properties of
some important classes of generalized functions are discussed; in
particular, generalized functions supported on submanifolds of
lower dimension, generalized functions associated with quadratic
forms, and homogeneous generalized functions are studied in detail.
Many simple basic examples make this book an excellent place for a
novice to get acquainted with the theory of generalized functions.
A long appendix presents basics of generalized functions of complex
variables.
