Optimization and Inverse Problems in Electromagnetism [Hardcover]

From 12 to 14 September 2002, the Academy of Humanities and Economics (AHE) hosted the workshop Optimization and Inverse Problems in Electromagnetism . After this bi-annual event, a large number of papers were assembled and combined in this book. During the workshop recent developments and applications in optimization and inverse methodologies for electromagnetic fields were discussed. The contributions selected for the present volume cover a wide spectrum of inverse and optimal electromagnetic methodologies, ranging from theoretical to practical applications. A number of new optimal and inverse methodologies were proposed. There are contributions related to dedicated software.

Optimization and Inverse Problems in Electromagnetism consists of three thematic chapters, covering:
-General papers (survey of specific aspects of optimization and inverse problems in electromagnetism),
-Methodologies,
-Industrial Applications.

The book can be useful to students of electrical and electronics engineering, computer science, applied mathematics (PhD level) and to researchers interested in the topic.1.
