The electrodynamic features of the multiband model are examined using the transverse
equation of motion approach in order to give the explanation of several long-standing
problems. It turns out that the exact summation of the most singular terms in powers of 1/wn leads to the total optical conductivity which, in the
zero-frequency limit, reduces to the results of the Boltzmann equation, both for the
metallic and semiconducting two-band regime. The detailed calculations have been carried
out for the quasi-one-dimensional (Q1D) two-band model corresponding to the imperfect
charge-density-wave (CDW) nesting. It is also shown that the results of the present
treatment of the impurity-scattering processes for the DC conductivity of the ordered CDW
state are in agreement with the experimental observation. Finally, the DC and optical
conductivity are calculated numerically for a few typical Q1D cases.
