Abstract: Gaussian beams are asymptotically valid high frequency solutions concentrated on a single curve through the physical domain, and superposition of Gaussian beams provides a powerful tool to generate more general high frequency solutions to PDEs. We present a superposition of Gaussian beams over an arbitrary bounded set of dimension $m$ in phase space, and show that the tools recently developed in [ H. Liu, O. Runborg, and N. M. Tanushev, Math. Comp., 82: 919--952, 2013] can be applied to obtain the propagation error of order $k^{1-fracN2-fracd-m4}$, where $N$ is the order of beams and $d$ is the spatial dimension. Moreover, we study the sharpness of this estimate in examples.
