Abstract: We study the limiting absorption principle and the well-posedness of Maxwell equations with anisotropic sign-changing coefficients in the time-harmonic domain. The starting point of the analysis is to obtain Cauchy problems associated with two Maxwell systems using a change of variables. We then derive a priori estimates for these Cauchy problems using two different approaches. The Fourier approach involves the complementing conditions for the Cauchy problems associated with two elliptic equations, which were studied in a general setting by Agmon, Douglis, and Nirenberg. The variational approach explores the variational structure of the Cauchy problems of the Maxwell equations. As a result, we obtain general conditions on the coefficients for which the limiting absorption principle and the well-posedness hold. Moreover, these {it new} conditions are of a local character and easy to check. Our work is motivated by and provides general sufficient criteria for the stability of electromagnetic fields in the context of negative-index metamaterials.
