Abstract:
A composite-coated inclusion is embedded in a matrix, where the conductivity (permittivity) of the phases is assumed to be complex-valued. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that a non-zero flux can arise under specific conditions related to the conductivities of the components in the absence of external sources. These conditions are unattainable with conventional positive conductivities but can be satisfied when the conductivities are negative or complex—a scenario achievable in the context of metamaterials. The problem is formulated as a spectral boundary value problem for the Laplace equation, featuring a linear conjugation condition defined on a smooth curve L . This curve divides the plane R 2 into two regions, D + and D − ∋ ∞ . The spectral parameter appears in the boundary condition, drawing parallels with the Steklov eigenvalue problem. The case of a circular annulus is analyzed using the method of functional equations. The complete set of eigenvalues is derived by applying the classical theory of self-adjoint operators in Hilbert space.
