15. i) represents the sum of Kronecker delta functions δ̌(0)=1. This latter equation illustrates how Eq. (2) can be numerically integrated on a computer. Note that the factor ln(γ) in Eq. (2) is transformed into (γ-1) in this new equation, because the Kronecker delta function γ̌(t) assumes values 0 and 1, whereas the Dirac delta function δ(t) is unbounded.
