In this paper we prove a stable determination of the coefficients of the time-harmonic Maxwell equations from local boundary data. The argument --due to Isakov-- requires some restrictions on the domain.
Born-Infeld theory is formulated using an infinite set of gauge fields, along the lines of McClain, Wu and Yu. In this formulation electromagnetic duality is generated by a fully local functional. The resulting consistency problems are…
