    I Show that the integral of the Dirac delta function is equal to 1

    Hi, I am reading the Quantum Mechanics, 2nd edition by Bransden and Joachain. On page 777, the book gives an example of Dirac delta function. $\delta_\epsilon (x) = \frac{\epsilon}{\pi(x^2 + \epsilon^2)}$ I am wondering how I can show $\lim_{x\to 0+} \int_{a}^{b} \delta_\epsilon (x) dx$...

    I Solving Integral for All n≥2 | Evans PDE's (Page 48)

    In the book from Evans on PDE's (page 48) I came across this integral. Here r > 0 and \delta is an arbitrarily small number. Could you give me some hint on how to solve this integral for all integers n\geq2 , i.e why does it go to zero as t approaches zero from the right side.
