On the extension of Schwartz distributions to the space of discontinuous test functions of several variables. (English) Zbl 1183.46040

The space of distributions is considered if discontinuous test functions of several variables are used. These test functions allow the definition of the operation of integration of a distribution and the multiplication of a distribution with discontinuous functions. Examples from game theory are given.
