The time dependent Maxwell system is supplemented with the constitutive relations of linear bianisotropc media and is treated as a neutral integrodierential equation in a Hilbert space. By using the theory of abstract Volterra equations and strongly continuous semigroups we obtain general wellposedness results for the corresponding mathematical problem.

Abstract-We investigate the problem of defining propagating constants and modes in metallic waveguides of an arbitrary cross section, filled with a homogeneous bi-isotropic material. The approach follows the guidelines of the classical theory for the isotropic, homogeneous, lossless waveguide: starting with the Maxwell system, we formulate a spectral problem where the square of the propagation constant shows up as the eigenvalue and the corresponding mode as the eigenvector. The difficulty that arises, and this is a feature of chirality, is that the eigenvalue is involved in the boundary conditions. The main result is that the problem is solvable whenever the Dirichlet problem for the Helmholtz equation in the cross section is solvable and two technical hypotheses are fulfilled. Our method, inspired by the null-field method, is quite general and has a good potential to work in various geometries.
