Show affiliationsThe scattering properties of regularizing finite-range potentials constructed in the form of squeezed rectangles, which approximate the first and second derivatives of the Dirac delta function δ(x), are studied in the zero-range limit. Particularly, for a countable set of interaction strength values, a non-zero transmission through the point potential δ'(x), defined as the weak limit (in the standard sense of distributions) of a special dipole-like sequence of rectangles, is shown to exist when the rectangles are squeezed to zero width. A tripole sequence of rectangles, which gives in the weak limit the distribution δ''(x), is demonstrated to exhibit the total transmission for a countable sequence of the rectangle's width that tends to zero. However, this tripole sequence does not admit a well-defined point interaction in the zero-range limit, making sense only for a finite range of the regularizing rectangular-like potentials.
