M14: Direct and Inverse Problems for Maxwell's Equations

The Maxwell system of equations, or its approximations, play a crucial role in the modeling of the inverse problems in electromagnetism. At low frequency for the time-harmonic system, in the quasi-static regime, or in presence of special symmetries, Maxwell’s equations are routinely approximated by an elliptic equation, which simplifies the study of the problem. Outside of this context, the full Maxwell system of equations must be used. This leads to a number of challenges, including the analysis and simulation of the direct problem, a fundamental prerequisite for the study of the inverse problem.

This minisymposium focuses on direct and inverse problems for Maxwell’s equations, such as boundary value problems, scattering problems and coupled-physics problems with internal data. We wish to bring together researchers working in this field, ranging from the theoretical aspects to the numerical implementation and the applications.
