Abstract: Geometrical optics limit of the Maxwell equations for nonlinear media with the Cole-Cole dependence of dielectric function and magnetic permeability on the frequency is considered. It is shown that for media with slow variation along one axis such a limit gives rise to the dispersionless Veselov-Novikov equation for the refractive index. It is demonstrated that the Veselov-Novikov hierarchy is amenable to the quasiclassical DBAR-dressing method. Under more specific requirements for the media, one gets the dispersionless Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation. Geometrical optics interpretation of some solutions of the above equations is discussed.
