Electromagnetic wave propagation is modeled by a system of two partial differential equations for the electric and magnetic fields E and H, the Maxwell system. This will be the starting point of our lecture. We will consider time-harmonic fields (i.e. periodic in time) solely and study two model problems in detail: First, we investigate a scattering problem and treat this special boundary value problem in an unbounded domain by a boundary integral equation method. Second, we study a cavity problem; that is, a boundary value problems in a bounded domain, and treat this by a variational method. For this part we will make use of Sobolev spaces, which will be introduced at the beginning of this section.
==== Prerequisits: === Vordiplom or Bachelor in Mathematics, Physics or in EngineeringBasic knowledge of functional analysis is needed, in particular the notions of normed spaces, Hilbert spaces including their most important examples, linear and bounded or compact operators, the representations theorem of Riesz in Hilbert spaces. Further facts on functional analysis will be derived during the course.
