Abstract:
The problem of excitation of electromagnetic oscillations by a given distribution of charges and currents in a domain with inhomogeneous chiral filling is examined. The domain in which the problem is considered may either be finite with a perfectly conducting boundary surface or be the complement of a perfectly conducting bounded body. A special functional space is defined on which a generalized initial-boundary value problem is formulated. The Galerkin method is used to prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution of this problem.
Key words:chiral medium, initial-boundary value problem, weak solution, excitation of electromagnetic oscillations, Galerkin method.
