abstract

This paper examines the Maxwell system of electrodynamics within the framework of distributions. A primary objective is to establish boundary conditions for fields at interfaces when the charge and current densities are measures localized on the interface. From this analysis, the paper presents a derivation of the generalized Snell's law, along with formulas for the amplitudes of the reflected and transmitted waves in terms of the incident amplitude.

The paper derives generalized Snell laws and an amplitude system for spatio-temporal interfaces, but the amplitude system conflates temporal and spatial scattering, invalidating the example.
