Abstract:
We study a nonstationary Maxwell system in $\mathbb{R}^3$ with dielectric
permittivity $\eta(\varepsilon^{-1}{\mathbf x})$ and magnetic permeability $\mu$.
Here $\eta(\mathbf{x})$ is a positive definite bounded symmetric $(3 \times 3)$-matrix- valued
function
periodic with respect to some lattice and
$\mu$ is a constant positive $3\times 3$ matrix. We obtain approximations
for the solutions in the
$L_2(\mathbb{R}^3;\mathbb{C}^3)$-norm for a fixed time with error estimates of operator type.
