heal.abstract	We consider short pulse propagation in nonlinear metamaterials characterized by a weak Kerr-type nonlinearity in their dielectric response. Two short-pulse equations (SPEs) are derived for the high- and low-frequency ""band gaps"" (where linear electromagnetic waves are evanescent) with linear effective permittivity ε{lunate} < 0 and permeability μ > 0. The structure of the solutions of the SPEs is also briefly discussed, and connections with the soliton solutions of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation are made. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
