Prof. Meisong Tong of Tongji University

Electromagnetic (EM) problems are governed by the well-known Maxwell’s equations which take a differential equation form but they can be manipulated into an integral equation form by introducing the Green’s function. Many numerical methods have been developed for solving EM integral equations and the most popular or traditional method is known as the method of moments (MoM). Although the MoM is quite robust in general, there exist certain deficiencies in the method for many applications. Recently, some nontraditional numerical methods for solving the EM integral equations have been developed and they could become strong competitors to the MoM, causing a wide attention in the EM community. The typical methods are the Nyström method and meshless method and they can overcome or alleviate the problems in the traditional MoM, leading to having an alterative choice in many scenarios. In this talk, speaker will review these two methods and present their applications for solving various EM problems.
