The polarization in a ferroelectric thin film: local and nonlocal limit problems
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.
Time-dependent electromagnetic waves in a cavity
The electromagnetic initial-boundary value problem for a cavity enclosed by perfectly conducting walls is considered. The cavity medium is defined by its permittivity and permeability which vary continuously in space. The electromagnetic field comes from a source in the cavity. The field is described by a magnetic vector potential satisfying a wave equation with initial-boundary conditions. This description through is rigorously shown to give a unique solution of the problem and is the starting...

Transformation of divergence theorem in dynamical fields
In this paper we will study the flux and the divergence of vector in dynamical fields, on the basis of conventional divergence definition and using the conventional method to find the vector flux. We will reveal that vector flux and divergence of vector do not vanish in dynamical fields. In terms of conventional EM field formalism, we will show the changes appearing in dynamical fields.
Two Hartree-Fock models for the vacuum polarization
We review recent results about the derivation and the analysis of two Hartree-Fock-type models for the polarization of vacuum. We pay particular attention to the variational construction of a self-consistent polarized vacuum, and to the physical agreement between our non-perturbative construction and the perturbative description provided by Quantum Electrodynamics.
