Abstract
The paper continues earlier work on the generalization in n-dimensional space of the differential equations governing the propagation of electromagnetic waves in inhomogeneous anisotropic ionospheric plasma. Here there are investigated certain properties of the equations and their solutions that are independent of the dimension n of the space in which propagation takes place. The isotropic case is discussed, together with a special anisotropic model for which the various planes of circular polarization are geometrically related to each other.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
