Mar 16, 2023 at 15:37 comment added Tom Copeland Composing the Dirac delta with functions is a common practice in physics. I related this trick to Laplace transforms to determine the Fuss-Catalan sequences in "Discriminating Deltas, Depressed Equations, and Generalized Catalan Numbers" tcjpn.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/discrdeltas9-6-20122.pdf. I think this might be extendable to general formal power series and a certain class of Laurent series, but that's a future project.

Jan 14, 2019 at 20:11 comment added reuns What do you assume about $f$ ? That it is Schwartz, that $f$ and its Fourier transform are $L^1$ ? What do you assume about $\phi$ ? Let $T_n (x) = \int_{-n}^n e^{i xy}dy$, it converges to $\delta$ in the sense of distributions and $\int_0^x T_n(v)dv$ converges locally uniformly to $sign(x)$ away from $x =0$ and boundedly around $x=0$. Thus If $f\in C_c^0$ and $\phi $ is $C^1$ with no double zero and finitely zeros on each lnterval then $(T_n \circ \phi ,f ) \to( \delta\circ \phi ,f )$
