Optimization Methods in Electromagnetic Radiation

This book gives a careful, mathematical introduction to the theory and design of antenna structures, an important area of application in electromagnetics. In particular, the authors show how functional analysis and the modern theory of optimization, including multicriteria optimization, can be used to treat some basic problems in antenna design. It is intended for a dual audience of mathematicians and mathematically-sophisticated engineers.

The authors of this book have a unique perspective that will appeal to two different communities: mathematicians studying optimization who are interested in applications, and electrical engineers working on antenna theory and design Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
