MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN ELECTROMAGNETISM
Linear Theory and Applications

by M Cessenat (CEA/DAM, France)

This book provides the reader with basic tools to solve problems of electromagnetism in their natural functional frameworks thanks to modern mathematical methods: integral surface methods, and also semigroups, variational methods, etc., well adapted to a numerical approach.

As examples of applications of these tools and concepts, we solve several fundamental problems of electromagnetism, stationary or time-dependent: scattering of an incident wave by an obstacle, bounded or not, by gratings; wave propagation in a waveguide, with junctions and cascades. We hope that mathematical notions will allow a better understanding of modelization in electromagnetism and emphasize the essential features related to the geometry and nature of materials.


Contents:

  • Mathematical Modelling of the Electromagnetic Field in Continuous Media: Maxwell Equations and Constitutive Relations
  • Mathematical Framework for Electromagnetism
  • Stationary Scattering Problems with Bounded Obstacles
  • Waveguide Problems
  • Stationary Scattering Problems on Unbounded Obstacles
  • Evolution Problems
  • Appendix — Differential Geometry for Electromagnetism
  • References
  • Index
  • Notations


Readership: Applied mathematicians.


“I would recommend it to anyone interested in the analysis or numerical analysis of Maxwell’s equations for its up-to-date and extensive treatment of the problem.”
