Error Estimates for 1D Asymptotic Models in Coaxial Cables with Non-Homogeneous Cross-Section

This paper is the first contribution towards the rigorous justification of asymptotic 1D models for the time-domain simulation of the propagation of electromagnetic waves in coaxial cables. Our general objective is to derive error estimates between the "exact" solution of the full 3D model and the "approximate" solution of the 1D model known as the Telegraphist's equation.
