Hi, I want to integrate a differential equations system numerically, but some equations involve Dirac delta functions. Is there a built-in delta function to do this? Or should I be mimicking one with a continuous function? Thanks!

Dirac Delta with DifferentialEquations.jl

Yeah that’s how it’s done. Just use a DiscreteCallback (or PresetTimeCallback). That’s how the adjoint system handles Dirac deltas.
