## Abstract Huygens' principle (HP) is understood as a __universal__ principle governing not only the propagation of light, but also of acoustic waves, heat and matter diffusion, SchrΓΆdinger's matter waves, random walks, and many more. According to Hadamard's rigorous definition, HP comprehends the
## Abstract Huygens' principle (HP) is a wellβknown fundamental principle of wave propagation. More generally, it can be understood as representing the principle of actionβbyβproximity (cf. Faraday's field theory etc.) and the superposition of secondary wavelets reβirradiated at each point of the w
