- A functional derivative using the delta function with intergral limits of +-1.
##\frac {\delta I[f]} {\delta f(x_o)} = \int_a ^b \delta(x-x_o) \, dx## with a=-1 and b=+1
## -1 \leq x_o \leq +1 ## vs ## -1 \lt x_o \lt +1 ##, 0 otherwise. Which is correct and does it matter when doing integration by parts?
