Abstract
The paper concerns the discreteness of the eigenvalues and the solvability of the interior transmission problem for anisotropic media. Conditions for the ellipticity of the problem are written explicitly, and it is shown that they do not guarantee the discreteness of the eigenvalues. Some simple sufficient conditions for the discreteness and solvability are found. They are expressed in terms of the values of the anisotropy matrix and the refraction index at the boundary of the domain. The discreteness of the eigenvalues and the solvability of the interior transmission problem are shown if a small perturbation is applied to the refraction index.
