Abstract.A class of linear material laws is considered, which covers a number of diverse initial boundary value problems of classical mathematical physics. The claim that this class is indeed to a large extent sufficiently general can be exemplified for a number of specific models from classical physics. We illustrate the concept for some well-known linear material laws in electrodynamics.
