Abstract
Consider the linear differential equation of the form any(n)(t)+an-1y(n-1)(t)+an-2y(n-2)(t)+ … + a0y(t) = crd (r) ………………………..(* ) where ai (i = 0, 1, 2, …, n) and ci (r = 0, 1, 2, …, m) are constants with an ¹ 0 and is a Dirac-delta distribution with r-th-derivatives and d (0) = d and t Î (-¥ ,¥ ). In this paper, the solutions of are investigated under the conditions of m and n and it has been found that, (1) If n £ m then there exists the solutions of (* ) that belong to the space D' of distributions and those solutions are singular and regular distributions. (2) If n-2 < m < n then there exists the solutions of (* ) that are only the regular distributions. (3) If m £ n-2 then all solutions of (* ) are classical or continuous functions for tÎ (-¥ ,¥ ).
