Abstract

The paper considers the static Maxwell system for a Lipschitz domain with perfectly conducting boundary. Electric and magnetic permeability ε and μ are allowed to be monotone and Lipschitz continuous functions of the electromagnetic field. The existence theory is developed in the framework of the theory of monotone operators.
