چکیده
We propose a simple quaternionic reformulation of Maxwell’s equations for inhomogeneous media and use it in order to obtain new solutions in a static case.

Quaternionic equation for electromagnetic fields in inhomogeneous media
We show that the Maxwell equations for arbitrary inhomogeneous media are equivalent to a single quaternionic equation which can be considered as a generalization of the Vekua equation for generalized analytic functions.
متن کاملA Uniqueness Theorem for an Inverse Electromagnetic Scattering Problem in Inhomogeneous Anisotropic Media
We show that the support of a (possibly) coated anisotropic medium is uniquely determined by the electric far-field patterns corresponding to incident time-harmonic electromagnetic plane waves with arbitrary polarization and direction. Our proof avoids the use of a fundamental solution to Maxwell’s equations in an anisotropic medium and instead relies on the well-posedness and regularity proper...
متن کاملEulerian Geometrical Optics and Fast Huygens Sweeping Methods for Three-Dimensional Time-Harmonic High-Frequency Maxwell's Equations in Inhomogeneous Media
In some applications, it is reasonable to assume that geodesics (rays) have a consistent orientation so that Maxwell’s equations may be viewed as an evolution equation in one of the spatial directions. With such applications in mind, we propose a new Eulerian geometrical-optics method, dubbed the fast Huygens sweeping method, for computing Green’s functions of Maxwell’s equations in inhomogeneo...
متن کاملA Higher Order B-Splines 1-D Finite Element Analysis of Lossy Dispersive Inhomogeneous Planar Layers
In this paper we propose an accurate and fast numerical method to obtain scattering fields from lossy dispersive inhomogeneous planar layers for both TE and TM polarizations. A new method is introduced to analyze lossy Inhomogeneous Planar Layers. In this method by applying spline based Galerkin’s method of moment to scalar wave equation and imposing boundary conditions we obtain reflection and...
متن کاملA wave automaton for Maxwell’s equations
This paper presents an extension to electromagnetic fields of the wave automaton, which was introduced in recent years for describing wave propagation in inhomogeneous media. Using elementary processes obeying a discrete Huygens’ principle and satisfying fundamental symmetries such as time reversal and reciprocity, this new wave automaton is capable of modeling Maxwell’s equations in 3+1 dimens...
