Is the following computations correct?
Can the Heaviside step function have an arbitrary function as argument?
It seams reasonable and leads to the correct/same answers, but I have not been able to find any source of information about it.
Does anyone know where I can find information about the Heaviside step function with a function as argument?
$f(t) := |t| = H(t)t+\left((1-H(t)\right)(-t)=\left[2H(t)-1\right]t$
$g(t) := \sin(t)$
$f^\prime(t) = 2H(t)-1 + 2t\delta(t)= 2H(t)-1 $
$g^\prime(t) = \cos(t)$
$f^{\prime\prime}(t) = 2\delta(t) $
$g^{\prime\prime}(t) = -\sin(t)$
$h(t) := |\sin(t)|= f\left[(g(t)\right]= \left[2H(\sin(t))-1\right]\sin(t)$
$h^\prime(t) = f^\prime\left[g(t)\right] g^\prime(t) = \left[2H\left[\sin(t)\right]-1\right]\cos(t)$
