Abstract:
In this talk, I will discuss a mathematical framework for wave propagation in anisotropic fractal porous media. These materials are fractal structures that could have different dimensions in each direction and appear, for instance, in the modeling of composite structures with fractal type microstructures. I will discuss the vector framework to study electromagnetic wave propagation and apply it to the special case of the Drude-Born-Fedorov system--a particular model of an electromagnetically bi-anisotropic medium which incorporates chirality. This is joint work with I. G. Stratis (National and Kapodistrian University of Athens).
