Starting from Maxwell's equations, we use the reductive perturbation method to derive a second-order and third-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation, describing ultrashort solitons in left-handed metamaterials. We find necessary conditions exact bright dark soliton solutions of these equations for electric magnetic field envelopes.

Eliminating the electromagnetic interaction of a device with its background is topic which attracts considerable attention both from theoretical as well an experimental point view.

Methods employing auxiliary sources are applied to electromagnetic scattering problems by 2-D noncircular scatterers. Specific cases considered for which the singularities of analytic continuation scattered field into interior scatterer can be analytically determined. Then, it is shown that amplitudes (currents) diverge and oscillate when curve does not enclose these singularities. Still, electric fields computed means divergent oscillatory currents convergent correct. The correctness...

The method of auxiliary sources (MAS) is one the numerical methods employed for determination cutoff wavenumbers (eigenvalues) cylindrical waveguides. According to general scheme MAS, eigenvalues are obtained by requiring square impedance matrix be singular and therefore its determinant zero (or condition number large). For large matrices, such computations complicated time-consuming. Additionally, these schemes frequently contaminated with spurious eigenvalues. To overcome difficulties, an...
