Eigenvalue problems are fundamental to understanding the spectral characteristics of photonic and plasmonic systems. These problems involve determining the intrinsic resonant frequencies and modes of ...

Eigenvalue problems are a cornerstone of modern applied mathematics, arising in diverse fields from quantum mechanics to structural engineering. At their heart, these problems seek scalar values and ...

Abstract: Aerospace engineers constantly face “wicked problems,” which are ill-defined and complex sociotechnical problems with undefined and often-shifting constraints and requirements. However, the ...
