A survey on the numerics and computations for the Landau-Lifshitz equation of micromagnetism (Q944453): Difference between revisions

The author reviews some numerical methods dealing with various forms of the Landau-Lifshitz equation. In the first part of the paper, the author develops the micromagnetic model and there are recalled some basic properties of the micromagnetic system. Next, numerical schemes are studied for which no rigorous convergence analysis is known, as well as some methods for which convergence results have been deeply understood. In the last part of this paper, several computational studies are performed presenting the behavior of the selected schemes. A particular example deals with adaptivity strategies for the Landau-Lifshitz equation.
