Generalized functions in a Non-Archimedean field

RESUMO

Ultrafunctions are generalized functions defined on a non-Archimedean field extending R. They provide a framework for treating problems that fall outside the classical theory of distributions. In this paper we introduce an improved notion of ultrafunctions which refines the previous constructions. This new approach allows a more flexible functional framework than the one used in other papers and yields a more flexible functional setting. In particular, this approach allows us to prove the existence of ultrafunction solutions for several classes of ill-posed evolution problems arising in partial differential equations.
