Optical diffraction for periodical interface belongs to relatively fewer exploited application of boundary integral equations method. Our contribution presents the formulation of diffraction problem based on vector tangential fields, for which the periodical Green function of Helmholtz equation is of key importance. There are discussed properties of obtained boundary operators with singular kernel and a numerical implementation is proposed.
Some electromagnetic materials have, in a given frequency range, an effective dielectric permittivity and/or a magnetic permeability which are real-valued negative coefficients when dissipation is neglected. They are usually called metamaterials. We study a scalar transmission problem between a classical dielectric material and a metamaterial, set in an open, bounded subset of Rd, with d = 2,3. Our aim is to characterize occurences where the problem is well-posed within the Fredholm (or coercive...

In this paper, starting from classical non-convex and nonlocal 3D-variational model of the electric polarization in a ferroelectric material, via an asymptotic process we obtain a rigorous 2D-variational model for a thin film. Depending on the initial boundary conditions, the limit problem can be either nonlocal or local.
The div-curl lemma, one of the basic results of the theory of compensated compactness of Murat and Tartar, does not take over to the case in which the two factors two-scale converge in the sense of Nguetseng. A suitable modification of the differential operators however allows for this extension. The argument follows the lines of a well-known paper of F. Murat of 1978, and uses a two-scale extension of the Fourier transform. This result is also extended to time-dependent functions, and is applied...
