Differential equations in the complex plane are different from differential equations on the real line. Suppose you have an nth order linear differential equation as follows. The real case If the a‘s are continuous, real-valued functions on an open interval of the real line, then there are n linearly independent

Read moreCosine power approximation to Gaussian density
Years ago I wrote about how you can make a decent approximation to the Gaussian density by shifting and scaling the cosine function. This observation dates back at least as far as 1961. Turns out you can do even better by raising the cosine term to a power. Not only
