Well-posedness and exponential stability of nonlinear Maxwell equations for dispersive materials with interface. (English) Zbl 1532.35440

Authors’ abstract: In this paper we consider an abstract Cauchy problem for a Maxwell system modeling electromagnetic fields in the presence of an interface between optical media. The electric polarization is in general time-delayed and nonlinear, turning the macroscopic Maxwell equations into a system of nonlinear integro-differential equations. Within the framework of evolutionary equations, we obtain well-posedness in function spaces exponentially weighted in time and of different spatial regularity and formulate various conditions on the material functions, leading to exponential stability on a bounded domain.
