Introduction to Part IV

Abstract

This part is concerned with mathematical and computational methods in electrical engineering, including also multiobjective optimization and space-mapping methods. Theoretical results, novel approaches, and simulations cover some important issues mainly arising in the field of computational electromagnetics, including finite-element/volume discretization and the differential/integral formulation of Maxwell’s equations, large interconnect structures, uncertainty quantification, and electron devices. Both the mathematical aspects and the applicative importance are outlined in this part, and as such may appeal to both engineers and theoreticallyoriented readers.
