We introduce Probabilistic Gaussian Homotopy (PGH), a probability-space continuation framework for nonconvex optimization. Unlike classical Gaussian homotopy, which smooths the objective and uniformly averages gradients, PGH deforms the…

A fairly general expression for a light beam is found as a solution of the paraxial Helmholtz equation. It is achieved by exploiting appropriately chosen complex variables which entail the separability of the equation. Next, the expression…

The regularity of the solution of elliptic partial differential equa- tions in a polygonal domain with re-entrant corners is, in general, reduced compared to the one on a smooth convex domain. This results in a best approximation property…
