Surface waves in an open circular waveguide filled with inhomogeneous chiral media

Propagation of surface waves in a radially inhomogeneous chiral waveguide is considered. The setting reduced to boundary eigenvalue problem for the longitudinal components electromagnetic field Sobolev spaces. To find solution, variational formulation used. analysis an operator-valued function. Discreteness spectrum proved and distribution characteristic numbers function on complex plane determined. results numerical modeling propagating open are presented.
