A representation theorem involving fractional derivatives for linear homogeneous chiral media

A dyadic differential operator that commutes with the curl dynamic can be u sed to obtain new solutions of the Faraday and the Ampere-Maxwell equations in linear, homogeneous chiral media. Conditional extension of this represe ntation theorem to bianisotropic media is also possible. An admissible oper ator may involve fractional derivatives. (C) 2001 John Wiley B Sons, Inc.
