Maxwell’s Equations in Periodic Structures (eBook)

This book addresses recent developments in mathematical analysis and computational methods for solving direct and inverse problems for Maxwell's equations in periodic structures. The fundamental importance of the fields is clear, since they are related to technology with significant applications in optics and electromagnetics. The book provides both introductory materials and in-depth discussion to the areas in diffractive optics that offer rich and challenging mathematical problems. It is also intended to convey up-to-date results to students and researchers in applied and computational mathematics, and engineering disciplines as well.

Gang Bao has made fundamental contributions in developing mathematical and computational techniques to a wide array of emerging scientific problems in scattering and inverse scattering theory, ranging from geophysics, material science, optical science, to medical imaging. His research accomplishments include stability theory of inverse problems for the wave equation, mathematical analysis and computational method in electromagnetic scattering and inverse scattering, and mathematical modeling and analysis in diffractive and nano optics. He was awarded the Feng Kang Prize on Scientific Computing in 2003 and was selected as a SIAM Fellow in 2016 and an AMS Fellow in 2021.
