On étudie une équation nonlinéaire provenant d'une perturbation semilinéaire des équations de Maxwell. La présence du rotationnel rend l'équation fortement dégénérée. On propose une nouvelle approche liée à la décomposition de Hodge du potentiel vecteur A.

We study a nonlinear equation arising from a semilinear perturbation of the Maxwell equations. The presence of the curl operator makes this equation strongly degenerate. A new variational approach, related to the Hodge decomposition of the vector potential A, is developed.
