Constrained Power Focusing in Inhomogeneous Media as a Polarization Optimization by Domenica Anna Maria Iero

“…In particular, the proposed approach allows reducing the focusing problem, which is NP-hard in case of vector fields, to a series of convex programming (CP) ones. In this paper, an alternative OCPF formulation is presented, which consists in the research of the most suitable polarization of the field into the target point and relies on the convexity of the problem when fixing this polarization. …”
