Hoppe, Augsburg; Patrick Joly, Le Chesnay; Ulrich Langer, Linz February 14th - February 20th, 2010International audienceThe challenge inherent in the accurate and efficient numerical modeling of wave propagation phenomena is the common grand theme in both computational electromagnetics and acoustics. Many excellent contributions at this Oberwolfach workshop were devoted to this theme and a wide range of numerical techniques and algorithms were mustered to tackle this challenge.Among these methods boundary integral equation methods received particular attention, both in frequency and time domain. Combined with phase modulation techniques they pave the way for the construction of frequency robust schemes for wave scattering. This is an exciting recent development, which is complemented by the invention of high-order spectral integral equation methods. In parallel, we also witnessed soaring interest in time-domain integral equation methods. The alternative volume based schemes for wave propagation problems can also boast innovations, most notably in the context of plane wave methods.Though wave propagation is paramount, several other important aspects were addressed during the workshop ranging, among others, from the design of novel Galerkin schemes, asymptotic methods for geometrically singularly perturbed problems, analysis of spectral edge elements, to the design of preconditioners for quasi-static electromagnetics
