, equal to

if all the

are zero, and

otherwise.

One-argument form:

Multi-argument form:

Arguments can be approximate numbers:

Use in sums to pick out terms:

Pick out elements:

Patch pointwise values of piecewise-defined functions:

Reduce an equation containing DiscreteDelta:

The support of DiscreteDelta has measure zero:

DiscreteDelta can stay unevaluated with numeric arguments:

A larger setting for $MaxExtraPrecision can be needed:

Equality testing of the arguments takes numerical precision into account:
