Aug 24, 2015 at 18:51 comment added Deane Yang Look at the last bullet under Examples.
Aug 24, 2015 at 13:33 comment added asv @DeaneYang: I have seen this article. It is generally useful, but I could not find at this link any mentioning of hyperfunctions supported at a point. Apparently Corbennick is right. But in that case I would be interested to get a more explicit description of hyperfunctions supported at a point, if such a description exists.
Aug 24, 2015 at 13:16 comment added Deane Yang You can also look at the wikipedia article: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfunction
Aug 24, 2015 at 13:10 comment added Dirk Ha! Page 5 is not available in google books for me, this explains my ignorance…
Aug 24, 2015 at 11:14 comment added asv @Dirk: Distributions are canonically imbedded into hyperfunctions, see p. 5 in Schlichtkrull's book.
Aug 24, 2015 at 10:36 comment added Dirk I don't know much about hyperfunctions but I am not sure what "coincide" should mean here. A distribution is an element in the dual of smooth functions with compact support while a hyperfunction is an equivalence class of holomorphic functionals. I do not see a canonical way to map one set into the other… E.g. how should a hyperfunction act on a smooth function and how to make such an identification that respects all wanted rules (such as the rules for the derivative…)?
Aug 24, 2015 at 9:52 comment added user1688 Yes. See Schlichtkrull's book.
Aug 24, 2015 at 9:33 comment added asv Well, what I mean when saying that the support is 0 is that the restriction of the hyperfunction to $\mathbb{R}^n\backslash\{0\}$ vanishes. Is it satisfied for $e^{1/x}$?
Aug 24, 2015 at 9:32 comment added user1688 Because it is holomorphic outside zero. See the first pages of Schlichtkrull's book on how hyper functions are described as boundary values of holomorphic functions.
Aug 24, 2015 at 9:22 comment added asv I don't understand why $e^{1/x}$ is supported at zero. It seems to me that its support is equal to $\mathbb{R}$.
Aug 24, 2015 at 9:11 comment added user1688 See Schlichtkrull's book on page 6, where he gives the example $e^{1/x}$ as a hyper function (clearly supported at zero) which is not a distribution.
