Resumen
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to calculate the time-dependent electric and magnetic fields in anisotropic media with a general structure of anisotropy by symbolic computations.
Design/methodology/approach – An analytical approach for the computation of the time-dependent electric and magnetic fields is suggested. This approach consists of the following. Input data, electric and magnetic fields are presented in polynomial form. The exact formulae for electric and magnetic fields are computed by symbolic transformations in Maple.
Findings – The time-dependent second-order partial differential equations for the electric and magnetic fields with polynomial data were obtained from Maxwell’s equations when the current density is presented in a polynomial form with respect to space variables in a bounded region of three-dimensional space. The exact solutions of obtained equations were computed symbolically using Maple.
Originality/value – The obtained polynomial solutions do not contain errors if data are polynomials. The authors have shown that these solutions are approximate solutions with good accuracy for data which are approximated by polynomials in a bounded region of 3D space.
