As stated in the title, I want to solve the distributional differential equation $(\star)$ $$(xT_f)' \equiv H $$

  • $T_f \in (C_0^\infty)^*$ is a distribution induced by an arbitrary $f \in L_{\text{loc}}^1$ via $$<T_f,\phi>:=\int_{\mathbb{R}} f(x) \phi(x) \text{d}x, ~ \phi \in C_0^\infty$$$$\langle T_f,\phi\rangle :=\int_{\mathbb{R}} f(x) \phi(x) \text{d}x, ~ \phi \in C_0^\infty$$

  • '$\equiv$' means equality in distributional sense, i.e. for all $\phi \in C_0^\infty$ $$ <(xT_f)',\phi> = <H,\phi>$$$$ \langle (xT_f)',\phi\rangle = \langle H,\phi\rangle$$ $$ :\Leftrightarrow \int_{\mathbb{R}} (xf(x))' \phi(x) \text{d}x = \int_{\mathbb{R}} H(x) \phi(x) \text{d}x$$

  • The derivative is the distributional derivative, i.e. $<T_f',\phi>:=-<T_f,\phi'>$$\langle T_f',\phi\rangle:=-\langle T_f,\phi'\rangle$ for every test function $\phi$.

  • $H$ is the Heaviside function, i.e. $$H(x)=\begin{cases} 1, & x>0 \\ \frac{1}{2}, & x=0 \\ 0, & x<0 \end{cases}$$ Therefore $\int_{\mathbb{R}} H(x) \phi(x) dx=\int_{0}^\infty \phi(x) dx$ and $H' \equiv \delta$.


What I did so far:

  • Playing around brings me to: (nothing much) $$<(xT_f)',\phi>=-<xT_f,\phi'>=-<T_f,x\phi'>$$$$\langle (xT_f)',\phi\rangle=-\langle xT_f,\phi'\rangle=-\langle T_f,x\phi'\rangle$$

  • The homog. case (setting $H \equiv 0$) yields $$(xT_f)'\equiv 0 \Rightarrow 0=<(xT_f)',\phi>=-<xT_f,\phi'> \Rightarrow xf(x)=0 \Rightarrow x=0 \vee f(x)=0$$$$(xT_f)'\equiv 0 \Rightarrow 0=\langle (xT_f)',\phi\rangle=-\langle xT_f,\phi'\rangle \Rightarrow xf(x)=0 \Rightarrow x=0 \vee f(x)=0$$ Lets look at $x=0$: $f(0)=H(0)=\frac{1}{2}$. That means $<T_f,\phi>=0=<0,\phi> \Rightarrow T_f\equiv0$$\langle T_f,\phi\rangle=0=\langle 0,\phi\rangle \Rightarrow T_f\equiv0$.

  • I am quite stuck in the inhomog.inhomogeneous case, solving this integral equation. Variation of parameters seems not applicable.

Does someone have an idea for me? That would be great. I haven't dealt with distributional differential equations so far, so some things might not be correct, sorry for that.

Thanks a lot for your help, Marvin
