New Trends in Computational Electromagnetics (Electromagnetic Waves)

Computational electromagneticsis an active research area concerned with the development and implementation ofnumerical methods and techniques for rigorous solutions to physical problemsacross the entire spectrum of electromagnetic waves – from radio frequencies togamma rays. Numerical methods and techniques developed and implemented in thisarea are now used every day to solve complex problems in diverse applicationareas, including but not limited to antennas, telecommunications, biomedicalimaging, sensing, energy harvesting, nanotechnology, and optics. The purpose ofthis book is to provide a broad overview of the recent efforts in computationalelectromagnetics to develop and implement more robust, stable, accurate, andefficient algorithms.After an extensive overviewof the main trends in computational electromagnetics, individual chapterswritten by international experts explore the state-of-the-art infrequency-domain surface integration; frequency-domain volume integralequations; time-domain integral equations; time-domain methods for plasmonicmedia; finite element methods; geometric modelling and discretization forintegral equations; hierarchical vector basis functions; analysis ofelectromagnetic fields in multilayered media; acceleration and parallelizationtechniques; periodic problems and determining related eigenvalues; algebraicpreconditioning; high-frequency techniques and hybridizations; and uncertaintyquantification for large-scale electromagnetic analysis.
