D=εx000εy000εzE,B=μH

One or two components among εx, εy, and εz have the opposite sign.

Double hyperbolic28

D=εx000εy000εzE,B=μx000μy000μzH

One or two components among εx, εy, and εz have the opposite sign, and one or two components among μx, μy, and μz have the opposite sign.

The bold values indicate that the quantity is a vector
