Abstract :
Ideally sharp edges can be computationally some-what difficult, but the model is theoretically reasonable except for certain ranges of negative material parameters. In the quasistatic limit, negative permittivity wedges appear to support unphysical edge modes with infinite energy, and this theoretical anomaly show up as nonsensical numerical results in both static and dynamic simulations.
