Nonlinear time-harmonic Maxwell equations in an anisotropic bounded medium
Abstract
We find solutions of the problem \begin{eqnarray*} \left\{ \begin{aligned} &\nabla\times(\mu(x)^{-1}\nabla\times E) - \omega^2\epsilon(x) E = \partial_E F(x,E) &&\quad \text{in }\Omega\\%\newline &\nu\times E = 0 &&\quad \text{on }\partial\Omega \end{aligned} \right. \end{eqnarray*} on a bounded Lipschitz domain with exterior normal . Here denotes the curl operator in . The equation describes the propagation of the time-harmonic electric field in an anisotropic material with a magnetic permeability tensor and a permittivity tensor . The boundary conditions are those for surrounded by a perfect conductor. It is required that and are symmetric and positive definite uniformly for , and that . The nonlinearity is superquadratic and subcritical in , the model nonlinearity being of Kerr-type: for some with invertible for every and . We prove the existence of a ground state solution and of bound states if is even in . Moreover if the material is uniaxial we find two types of solutions with cylindrical symmetries.
