Assuming x is Real, how to get Mathematica to recognize the truth of this equation?
In[513]:= FullSimplify[Conjugate[DiracDelta[x]] == DiracDelta[x],
x \[Element] Reals]
Out[513]= Conjugate[DiracDelta[x]] == DiracDelta[x]

Try ComplexExpand.
Thanks.
When x=0, DiracDelta[x] is not considered a number:
In[8]:= DiracDelta[0] // NumberQ
Out[8]= False
Mathematica simplifies as you expect when x!=0:
Simplify[Conjugate[DiracDelta[x]] == DiracDelta[x],
x \[Element] Reals && x != 0]
Thank you. That is helpful.
