Review text

In this paper the authors deal with homogenization of time-harmonic Maxwell equations in order to determine the effective dielectric permittivity \(\varepsilon^h\) and effective electric conductivity \(\sigma^h\). Consideration is given to different order relations between the length \(l\), \(l_w\) and \(l_s\), where \(l\) is the representative periodically cell size of the heterogeneous medium, \(l_w\) is the wave length and \(l_s\) is the skin layer length. \(L\) is the size of the domain of measurements \(\Omega\), with \(\delta=l/L\) being a small dimensionless parameter. The authors prove the multi-scale convergence theorems, as \(\delta \rightarrow 0\), and find the macroscopic equations resulting from homogenization of the Maxwell equations and the boundary conditions for determination of the effective parameter \(\varepsilon^h\) and \(\sigma^h\), which depend on the pulsation \(\omega\). The macroscopic Maxwell equations also depend on \(\omega\), they are different for small and large values of \(\omega\).
