Mathematical models for dispersive electromagnetic waves: An overview

Abstract In this work, we investigate mathematical models for electromagnetic wave propagation in dispersive isotropic media. We emphasize the link between physical requirements and mathematical properties of the models. A particular attention is devoted to the notions of non-dissipativity and passivity. We consider successively the cases of so-called local media and then of general passive media. The models are studied through energy techniques, spectral theory and dispersion analysis of plane waves. For making the article self-contained, we provide in appendix some useful mathematical background.
