The Maxwell system<br />

Determ<strong>in</strong>istic problems: Modell<strong>in</strong>g<br />

Electromagnetic phenomena are specified by 4 (vector) quantities: the electric<br />

field E, the magnetic field H, the electric flux density D <strong>and</strong> the magnetic flux<br />

density B. The <strong>in</strong>ter-dependence between these quantities is given by the<br />

celebrated Maxwell system,<br />

curlH(t, x) = ∂tD(t, x) + J(t, x),<br />

curlE(t, x) = −∂tB(t, x),<br />

where J is the electric current density. All fields are considered for x ∈ O ⊂ R 3<br />

<strong>and</strong> t ∈ R, O be<strong>in</strong>g a doma<strong>in</strong> with appropriately smooth boundary. These<br />

equations are the so called Ampère’s law <strong>and</strong> Faraday’s law, respectively. In<br />

addition to the above, we have the two laws of Gauss<br />

divD(t, x) = ρ(t, x),<br />

divB(t, x) = 0,<br />

where ρ is the density of the (externally impressed) electric charge.<br />
