On models of short pulse type in continuous media
The short-pulse equation (SPE) was first derived for ultra short pulse propagating in nonlinear optics. In this thesis, we consider short pulse propagation in nonlinear metamaterials characterized by a weak Kerr-type nonlinearity in their dielectric response. Assuming general Kramers-Kronig or Sellm...
