A convergent finite element approximation for the quasi-static Maxwell-Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equations
We propose a theta-linear scheme for the numerical solution of the quasi-static Maxwell-Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert (MLLG) equations. Despite the strong nonlinearity of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, the proposed method results in a linear system at each time step. We prove that as the time and space steps tend to zero (with no further conditions when theta epsilon (1/2, 1]), the finite element solutions converge weakly to a weak solution of the MLLG equations. Numerical results are presented to show the applicability of the method. (C) 2013 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
