Constitutive Relations
Recall
D = E + P
where P is the dielectric polarization.
We can generally define P in terms of a convolution
Z t
P(t, x) = g E(t, x) = g (t s, x; )E(s, x)ds,

Multi-pole models
In general there are multiple mechanisms at various scales that account for
polarization. To attempt to account for several of these over a range of
frequencies, researchers tend to use multi-pole models:

Multi-pole Example
Consider

() = + +
1 + (i m ) i 0
m=1
m U [(1 am )m , (1 + bm )m ] ,
and
m U [(1 cm )m , (1 + dm )m ]
for some given reference values of m and m .
Thus, F is determined by am , bm , cm and dm , i.e., they are the values
of interest in our inverse problem.
