What is the derviative of the delta function?

Depending on which delta function you are talking about the derivative is different.

The Dirac Delta function is defined by:

delta(x) => = infinity, when x=0; = 0 when x not equal to 0

The derivative of the Dirac Delta is undefined because you cannot take the derivative of an infinite value

The Kronecker Delta function is defined by:

delta(x) => = 1, when x=0; = 0 when x not equal to 0

Thus the derivative of the Kronecker Delta function is 0 for all points because the function is constant and fixed.

Hope this helps
