B04: Electromagnetic Theory

Monday, August 18  16:00-17:40,  Room #19

Session Chairs: Gerhard Kristensson, Ari Sihvola

This session addresses the most recent advances in electromagnetic theory. It includes all aspects of electromagnetics, and all frequency ranges from statics to optics, including both time and frequency formulations. Of special interest are advances in mathematical and material modeling, solutions of canonical problems, analytic identities, guided wave, mathematical aspects of numerical methods, random media, asymptotic methods, and antenna theory.
