2-D stability of the Néel wall (Q2501175)

The authors study transition layers which connect two opposite magnetizations. The mathematical framework is described by a singular energy functional involving a small parameter \(\varepsilon\). The main result of the paper asserts that if \(\varepsilon <<1\) then the minimum of this energy behaves like \(\pi/2\ln | \varepsilon| \). The proof combines elliptic estimates, variational arguments, and asymptotic analysis techniques.
