From backcover:
This is the only book available in English language to consider inverse
and optimization problems in which phase fi eld distributions are used
as optimizing functions. The mathematical technique used relates to
nonlinear integral equations, with numerical methods developed and
applied to concrete problems.
Written by a team of outstanding and renowned experts in the field,
this monograph will appeal to all those dealing with the investigation,
design, and optimization of electromagnetic and acoustic radiating and
transmitting devices and systems, while also being of interest to mathematicians
working on the theory of nonlinear integral equations.
