We calculate the Casimir forces in two configurations, namely, three paralleldielectric slabs and a dielectric slab between two perfectly conducting plates,where the dielectric materials are dispersive and inhomogeneous in thedirection perpendicular to the interfaces. A renormalization scheme is proposedconsisting of subtracting the effect of one interface with a singleinhomogeneous medium. Some examples are worked out to illustrate this scheme.Our method always gives finite results and is consistent with the principle ofvirtual work; it extends the Dzyaloshinskii-Lifshitz-Pitaeveskii force toinhomogeneous media.
