Waves 2026 Book of Abstracts

WAVES 2026, 17th International Conference on Mathematical and Numerical Aspects of Wave Propagation Concordia University (John Molson Building), Montreal, Canada, June 22-26, 2026
WAVES 2026 is the seventeenth meeting in a long-running biennial series that has, throughout its history, alternated between Europe and North America to advance the mathematical and numerical study of wave propagation. Hosted at the John Molson Building of Concordia University in Montreal from June 22 to 26, 2026, the conference continues this tradition as a leading international forum where theory, computation, and application meet. The scientific program spans the full breadth of mathematical and numerical techniques for wave phenomena, from the modeling and analysis of the governing partial differential equations to the design, analysis, and implementation of efficient computational methods. Representative themes include acoustic, electromagnetic, elastic, and seismic wave propagation; scattering and inverse problems; high-frequency and asymptotic methods; finite element, boundary integral, and time-domain discretizations; and absorbing boundary conditions and domain truncation, with applications reaching across the physical sciences and engineering.
