Abstract
We consider the time-harmonic Maxwell equations at a nonzero wavenumber on a bounded and simply connected Lipschitz domain with an analytic boundary , on which we impose impedance boundary conditions. We suppose that the (possibly complex-valued) permeability and permittivity tensor fields and are piecewise analytic in and discontinuous only across certain mutually disjoint analytic surfaces inside of . We show that under these circumstances, any weak solution of Maxwell's equations is piecewise analytic in and that the growth of its derivatives can be controlled explicitly in the wavenumber .
