Mikusinski [1] has extended the operational calculus by methods which are essentially algebraic. He considers the family C of continuous complex valued functions on the half-line [0,∞). Under addition and convolution C becomes a commutative ring. Titchmarsh's theorem [2] shows that the ring has no divisors of zero and, hence, that it may be imbedded in its quotient field Q whose elements are then called operators. Included in the field are the integral, differential and translational operators of analysis as well as certain generalized functions, such as the Dirac delta function. An alternate approach [3] yields a rather interesting result which we shall now describe briefly.
