The analysis and use of computational methods for time-dependent boundary integral equations has matured significantly in recent years. The literature can roughly be separated into two philosophies:
- Direct evaluations of the time-dependent fundamental solution, leading to methods like the space-time Galerkin method.
- The use of time integration methods, in particular in combination with Laplace domain techniques, such as the Convolution Quadrature method.
The aim of this minisymposium is to report the latest significant results achieved and to stimulate connections between researchers active in these communities. These reports are complemented by presentations from researchers who use the numerical analysis of time-dependent boundary integral equations in applications, to identify possible collaborative or independent projects that further develop the techniques and extend their application.
