Boundary value problems and the validity of the Post constraint in modern electromagnetism
arXiv:physics/0506096 · doi:10.1016/j.ijleo.2005.07.017
Abstract
When a (frequency-domain) boundary value problem involving a homogeneous linear material is solved to assess the validity of the Post constraint, a conflict arises between the fundamental differential equations of electromagnetism in the chosen material and a naive application of the usual boundary conditions. It is shown here that the conflict vanishes when the boundary conditions are properly derived from the fundamental equations, and the validity of the Post constraint in modern macroscopic electromagnetism is thereby reaffirmed.
