It is shown that users of frequency-domain numerical simulators should be warned the danger using models with adjacent complementary media since such a configuration materials can cause instability which cannot overcome by presence other lossy or absorbing boundary conditions. The physical realizability at any frequency considering sharp interfaces then questioned contradiction between deduced result and one holds true when actual dielectric structure metamaterials considered.
It is shown that the presence of double negative metamaterials can affect traditional well posedness time-harmonic electromagnetic boundary value problems, even when absorbing conditions are considered on part boundary. This done by considering a simple waveguide discontinuity problem with impedance two ports. The theoretical results then used to introduce some doubts reliability models sharp interfaces between lossless positive and materials, latter constructed arrangements normal...
