UNIQUE SOLVABILITY FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS IN THE PRESENCE OF PARTLY LOSSY INHOMOGENEOUS ANISOTROPIC MEDIA AND MIXED BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

A result on the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of electromagnetic boundary value problems is presented. It is a generalization of the results already available in the open literature which holds true in all cases of practical interest. As a matter of fact, it holds true even in the presence of general inhomogeneous anisotropic media, surfaces of discontinuity, topologically complicated domains and mixed boundary conditions.
