A nonlinear theory of generalized functions. (English) Zbl 1506.46036

Summary: Generalized functions are crucial in the development of theories modeling physical reality. Starting with the linear theory, we give a partial account of what is known, focussing on the non-linear theory and some of its more recent achievements.
