We adapt a nonlinear version of Peetre's theorem on local operators in order to investigate representatives of nonlinear generalized functions occurring in the theory of full Colombeau algebras.
MSC 2010: 46F30, 46F10Modelling of singularities given by discontinuous functions or distributions by means of generalized functions has proved useful in many problems posed by physical phenomena. We introduce in a systematic way generalized functions of Colombeau that model such singularities. Moreover, we evaluate some products of singularity-modelling generalized functions whenever the result admits an associated distribution.
Equivalent definitions of two diffeomorphism invariant Colombeau algebras introduced in [7] and [5] (Grosser et al.) are listed and some new equivalent definitions are presented. The paper can be treated as tools for proving in [8] the equality of both algebras.
From the fact that the unique solution of a homogeneous linear algebraic system is the trivial one we can obtain the existence of a solution of the nonhomogeneous system. Coefficients of the systems considered are elements of the Colombeau algebra of generalized real numbers. It is worth mentioning that the algebra is not a field.
A generalized concept of sign is introduced in the context of Colombeau algebras. It extends the sign of the point-value in the case of sufficiently regular functions. This concept of generalized sign is then used to characterize the entropy condition for discontinuous solutions of scalar conservation laws.
