Inverse Problems and Optimal Design in Electricity and Magnetism (Monographs in Electrical and Electronic Engineering)

The optimization theory has been extensively applied to mechanical engineering and the solution of inverse problems in structural mechanics, but its use in electromagnetism is much more recent. This is the first book to explore optimal design in electricity and magnetism. Besides filling this gap in the literature, it also provides a comprehensive reference book for applied mathematicians and researchers, offering a broad view of the subject from theory to computer implementations.
