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

The Maxwell system as an IVP<br />

The constitutive relations are now modelled by an operator L <strong>and</strong> are<br />

understood as the functional equation<br />

d = Lu.<br />

The properties of this operator reflect the physical properties of the<br />

medium <strong>in</strong> question.<br />

So the Maxwell system can be written as an IVP for an abstract evolution<br />

equation<br />

(Lu) ′ (t) = Mu(t) + j(t) , for t > 0 ,<br />

(8)<br />

u(0) = u0 .<br />

The prime st<strong>and</strong>s for the time derivative.<br />

The equation <strong>in</strong> the IVP (28) is an <strong>in</strong>homogeneous neutral functional<br />

differential equation.<br />
