Abstract

A quaternion formulation of Maxwell equations in a medium is given. Adding gradient terms to these equations, they become invariant under the transformations of field variables forming a representation of the group S0(3, 3) — the group of external transformations of electromagnetic field variables. A discussion of possible physical applications of the generalized equations of macroscopic electrodynamics is given.
