Abstract

Cloaking using complementary media was suggested by Lai et al. in [8]. The study of this problem faces two difficulties. Firstly, this problem is unstable since the equations describing the phenomenon have sign changing coefficients, hence the ellipticity is lost. Secondly, the localized resonance, i.e., the field explodes in some regions and remains bounded in some others as the loss goes to 0, might appear. In this paper, we give a proof of cloaking using complementary media for a class of schemes inspired from [8] in the quasistatic regime. To handle the localized resonance, we introduce the technique of removing localized singularity and apply a three spheres inequality. The proof also uses the reflecting technique in [11]. To our knowledge, this work presents the first proof on cloaking using complementary media. (C) 2015 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
