Abstract
Dispersion of electromagnetic waves is usually described in terms of a n integrodifferential equation. We show that whenever a differential o perator can be found that annihilates the susceptibility kernel of the medium, dispersion can be modeled by a partial differential equation without nonlocal operators.
