Abstract. The results of numerical simulation of the dynamics of the electromagnetic field in media, dielectric and magnetic permeability of which can take negative values, are presented in the paper. It is shown that in some cases, models based on the average characteristics of the medium, which have no dependence on time (without the frequency dispersion), could violate the principle of causality and energy conservation law.
