Emergence and applications of novel electronic and electrical technologies have spread into almost every corner of our lives, from patient monitoring to wireless power transmission, and terahertz imaging and sensing. As a result, the range of operating frequencies in electrical and electronic systems has been extended from a low frequency of a few Hertz to terahertz and optical frequency. Such applications have made designs of related electrical and electronic circuits and systems very challenging; this is because circuits and systems are required to be of low cost and small size, and electromagnetic effects and stochastic phenomena, such as spatial field distributions, parasitics, radiation, plasmonics, noises and random material property variations, are no longer negligible. As a result, a single unifying efficient and effective electromagnetic modeling and design platform that can simulate all electrical and electronic phenomena, including noises from low to optical frequency, is very much desirable in order to shorten design cycles and increase competitiveness. Our recent preliminary work in generalizing existing numerical methods has presented the possibility of creating such a unifying platform; it will not only place numerical methods under a single mathematical framework, but also allow easy development of new numerical methods catering to specific problems.

新型电子和电气技术的出现和应用已经扩散到我们生活的几乎每个角落，从患者监测到无线功率传播以及Terahertz成像和传感。结果，电气和电子系统中的工作频率范围已从几个赫兹的低频扩展到terahertz和光学频率。这样的应用使相关电路和电子电路以及系统的设计非常具有挑战性。这是因为要求电路和系统必须具有低成本和小尺寸，并且电磁效应和随机现象（例如空间场分布，寄生虫，辐射，等离子体，噪音，噪音和随机材料的变化）不再可忽略不计。结果，一个可以模拟所有电气和电子现象的单个统一有效的电磁建模和设计平台，包括从低到光学频率的噪声，非常需要缩短设计周期并提高竞争力。我们最近在概括现有数值方法方面的初步工作提出了创建这样的统一平台的可能性。它不仅将在单个数学框架之下放置数值方法，而且还可以轻松开发适合特定问题的新数值方法。
