Fundamental properties of solutions of Maxwell’s equations describing the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a cholesteric liquid crystal with tensor characteristics depending on one of the spatial coordinates (the Z-axis is chosen) are investigated. The matrix of the coefficients, the structure of the matrix of Maxwell’s equations, and the dispersion equations for an anisotropic liquid cholesteric medium are obtained.
