Let $\varOmega$ be a convex, open subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ and let $\mathcal{D}'(\varOmega)$ be the space of distributions on $\varOmega$. It is shown that there exist linear embeddings of $\mathcal{D}'(\varOmega)$ into a differential algebra that commute with partial derivatives and that embed $\mathcal{C}^{\infty}(\varOmega)$ as a subalgebra. This embedding appears to be the first one after Colombeau’s to possess these properties. We show that many nonlinear operations on distributions can be defined that are not definable in the Colombeau setting.
