Causality theorems and Green functions for transient wave propagation problems in stratified complex media
A general mixed initial-boundary value problem for a non-local hyperbolic equation, relevant for the study of the propagation of transient electro-magnetic waves in flat slabs, consisting of dispersive stratified complex media, and excited by incident plane waves, is treated. Theorems regarding unique solvability and causality are presented and proved by a time domain method similar to the one use
