===Non-commutative algebra of generalized functions=== The algebra of generalized functions can be built-up with an appropriate procedure of projection of a function <math>F=F(x)</math> to its smooth <math>F_{\rm smooth}</math> and its singular <math>F_{\rm singular}</math> parts. The product of generalized functions <math>F</math> and <math>G</math> appears as {{NumBlk|:|<math> FG~=~ F_{\rm smooth}~G_{\rm smooth}~+~ F_{\rm smooth}~G_{\rm singular}~+ F_{\rm singular}~G_{\rm smooth}.</math>|{{EquationRef|1}}}} Such a rule applies to both the space of main functions and the space of operators which act on the space of the main functions. The associativity of multiplication is achieved; and the function signum is defined in such a way, that its square is unity everywhere (including the origin of coordinates). Note that the product of singular parts does not appear in the right-hand side of ({{EquationNote|1}}); in particular, <math>\delta(x)^2=0</math>. Such a formalism includes the conventional theory of generalized functions (without their product) as a special case. However, the resulting algebra is non-commutative: generalized functions signum and delta anticommute.<ref name="shirokovAlgebra1dim"/> Few applications of the algebra were suggested.<ref name="goriaga">{{cite journal |author=O.
