Cloaking via anomalous localized resonance. A connection between the localized resonance and the blow up of the power for doubly complementary media

Hoài-Minh Nguyên

This paper is devoted to the study of cloaking via anomalous localized resonance (CALR) in two and three dimensions in the quasistatic regime. Two key figures of CALR are (i) the localized resonance and (ii) the connection between the localized resonance a ...
