Minisymposium Title: Complex Analysis, Optimization, and Herglotz Functions in Passive Electromagnetics and Composite Media

Minisymposium Description: The aim of this symposium is to bring together a diverse group of researchers from mathematics, engineering, and physics that, although working on seemingly distinct topics, use similar tools from complex analysis or optimization theory in which Herglotz or Stieltjes functions are important. This symposium will help bring new insights and advancements in the theory of Herglotz functions and its applications by highlighting progress and challenges in the areas of multivariate complex analysis, electromagnetics, and the theory of composites. Topics include Herglotz functions, passive systems, complex analysis, optimization theory, dispersion relations, sum rules, bounds, and applications in electromagnetics and composites.
