Carbou, Gilles; Hanouzet, Bernard Relaxation approximation of some nonlinear Maxwell initial-boundary value problem. (English) Zbl 1119.35033 Commun. Math. Sci. 4, No. 2, 331-344 (2006). Two nonlinear Maxwell systems are considered: Kerr model exhibiting an instantaneous response of the medium, Kerr-Debye model which contains some delay term and is a relaxation approximation of the first one. In one space dimension, we prove that the limit of the solution to the ingoing wave condition for Kerr-Debye model is a solution to the Kerr model.
