Cosmological tests with strong gravitational lenses using Gaussian processes

Abstract Strong gravitational lenses provide source/lens distance ratios $${\mathcal {D}}_{\mathrm{obs}}$$ Dobs useful in cosmological tests. Previously, a catalog of 69 such systems was used in a one-on-one comparison between the standard model, $$\varLambda $$ Λ CDM, and the $$R_{\mathrm{h}}=ct$$...
